See a solution process below:

Explanation:

A slope of 0 indicates the line is a horizontal line. This means, for each any every value of x the y value is the same. In this problem, the point given has the y value as -3.

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -3) of -3.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: y = color(red)(m)x + color(blue)(b)

Where color(red)(m) is the slope and color(blue)(b) is the y-intercept value.

Therefore, for this point and slope the equation would be:

y = color(red)(0)x + color(blue)(-3)

Or

y = -3
