Math Problem Statement

Solution

The image shows a graph with a horizontal line passing through the y-axis at y=2y = -2. The task is to write the equation of this line.

Solution:

The line is horizontal and crosses the y-axis at y=2y = -2. The equation of a horizontal line is of the form:

y=constanty = \text{constant}

Here, the constant is 2-2. Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y=2y = -2
