A horizontal line is a set of points that all have the same -coordinate. So for your situation, has to be equal to the -coordinate of the given point.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Horizontal line, in two dimensions, will have a slope of 0, and only a constant y value; meaning the y value will not change as x is changed. No restriction is placed on the values of x.

If you had y=mx+b, and if line for this equation is horizontal, meaning no change in y, then m=0, and equation more simply is y=b. SAME y value for all x values.

You have a y-coordinate given in point (3,-2) as , which is finally, the equation which you are asked to find.
