(N/A) line parallel to the $x$-axis is given by the equation $y = k$,where $k$ is the distance from the $x$-axis.
Since the line is $3$ units below the $x$-axis,the value of $y$ is negative.
Therefore,the equation of the line is $y = -3$.
The graph is a horizontal straight line passing through the point $(0, -3)$ on the $y$-axis.
