The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case, you are given the slope and the y intercept, so just substitute these numbers into y=mx+b, and you have
y=0x + 2
or
y=2.

Also, a line with slope 0 is always a horizontal line, which is always in the form of y = a number. In this case, the y-intercept is 2, so y = 2.
