    y = - 8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y = 3 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x - axis.

    The equation of a parallel line must therefore be a horizontal line with equation

    y = c

    where c is the value of the y - coordinates the line passes through.

    Here the line passes through ( - 2, - 8) with y - coordinate - 8, thus

    y = - 8 ← equation of parallel line
