Answer:

Undefined

Explanation:


y=-7 has a slope of
0, since it is a horizontal line. The only types of lines that are perpendicular to horizontal lines are vertical lines, which are usually in the form
x=a (where
a is any real number). Vertical lines have an undefined slope, so the answer is undefined. Hope this helps!
