Y=mX+b
-3=0*0+b
b=-3
Y=-3 ans for the line equation with slope=0 & passing through (0,-3).

Start with the general form of the slope-intercept:
y = mx+b Substitute the given m = 0.
y = (0)x+b Now substitute the x- and y-coordinate from the given point (0, -3) into this equation to find the value of b.
-3 = (0)(0)+b Simplify this.
-3 = b
Now you can write the final equation by substituting b = -3.
This is a linear equation for a horizontal line (the slope is zero in a horizontal line) that passes through the point (0, -3)
