1. **State the problem:** Find the equation of a graph that is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -3.
2. **Recall the formula for a horizontal line:**
A horizontal line has the form $$y = c$$ where $$c$$ is a constant.
3. **Use the given information:**
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is at $$y = -3$$.
4. **Write the equation:**
Since the line is horizontal and crosses the y-axis at -3, the equation is:
$$y = -3$$
5. **Explanation:**
A horizontal line has a slope $$m = 0$$, so the equation can also be written as $$y = 0 \cdot x - 3$$, which simplifies to $$y = -3$$.
This means for any value of $$x$$, $$y$$ remains constant at -3.
**Final answer:** $$y = -3$$
