Explanation:

this is a special case of a line : a horizontal line.

what does that mean for the domain (valid x- values) and the range (valid y-values) ?

x goes just as usual from -infinity to +infinity.

by y is the special thing : it stays constant (in our case here -7) no matter what is the x-value.

the slope as the ratio

y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference

is therefore a constant

0 / x coordinate difference = 0

the equation is then

y = 0×x + y-intercept = y-intercept

this y-intercept is -7.

so, the equation is

y = -7
