C.

y=0y = 0

D.

x=4x = -4

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. Horizontal line. 1. Slope 0: Horizontal (y=ky=k). 2. Intercept: (0,4)(0, -4) is the y-intercept. 3. Equation: y=4y = -4. Strategic Tip: Horizontal lines are defined by their y-intercept. Choice B is incorrect because vertical. Choice C is incorrect because wrong value. Choice D is incorrect because vertical.

Key Steps:

The correct answer is y=4y = -4

Why others are wrong:
B: Choice B is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
C: Choice C is incorrect and may result from a calculation error.
