The equation of the line is y = -7

Generally, we can write the equation of a line in the slope-intercept form as;


y\text{ = mx + b}

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

We already have the slope as 0, so the equation will be;


y\text{ = b}

To get the value of b in this case, we only need to put in the y-value of the point through which the line passes

In this case, the point is -7 and thus;


b\text{ = -7}

The equation of the line is thus;


y\text{ = -7}
