See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Because the #y# term in each point is the same we know this is a horizontal line with an equation of;

#y = -2#

The standard form of a linear equation is: #color(red)(A)x + color(blue)(B)y = color(green)(C)#

Where, if at all possible, #color(red)(A)#, #color(blue)(B)#, and #color(green)(C)#are integers, and A is non-negative, and, A, B, and C have no common factors other than 1

Therefore, the standard for of the equation for this line is:

#color(red)(0)x + color(blue)(1)y = color(green)(-2)#
