Answer: Y=0x+b

Explanation:

Y=mx+b is what we need to set it to.

Since we already know the slope, we can go ahead and find the y-intercept to complete the equation

(-7,2), here -7 is the x and 2 is the y value

y=mx+b

plug all the known information now and solve for b (y-intercept)

y is 2, m (slope) is 0, x is -7

2=0(-7)+b

2=0+b

2=b

y=0x+2 or simply y=2
