A line parallel to it is a horizontal line. If it must contain the point (-3,2) meaning (x,y) a y value of 2, then it must be a horizontal line at y=2.

The equation of that line is y=2.

The line , is a line where ALL of the ordered pairs have a -coordinate equal to 5, in other words a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have a zero slope. Parallel lines have identical slopes, so any line parallel to a horizontal line has to have a zero slope and will have an equation of the form where is the coordinate of ANY point on that line. Since the desired line contains the point , then an equation that represents this line is
