Horizontal means that , and . This means by conclusion that .

Now you have .

Equation must include point (-3,-1).
No restrictions on x values.







Try working through slope-intercept form, instead, and you could make an easier formed equation, and then turn that result into standard form.
(Note that Ax+By+C=0 is standard form, and not general form).
