The equation to the line is y = mx + b.
Substitute all the values you have:
y = -3, m = 0, x = -5 and you get:
-3 = 0*(-5) + b
Therefore, b = -3.
The general equation is then : y = 0*x - 3,
or, y = -3.

The equation for any line parallel to x-axis is y = n where n can take any value positive or negative. In this case, it will be y = -3 and this line will pass through all values of x including -5 specified.
So, the equation is y = -3

If it's parallel to the x-axis, the equation for the line will be y = something.
Since it goes through the point (-5, -3), then the equation is
y = -3

If parallel to x-axis, then it's a horizontal line, so y=-3.
