Answer:

x = - 7

Explanation:

What is required here is a line parallel to the y- axis and thus perpendicular to the x- axis.

The equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is

x = c

Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through

The line passes through (- 7, - 2) with an x- coordinate of - 7, thus

x = - 7 ← is the equation perpendicular to the x- axis
