Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

y = 4 is a horizontal line that passes through the point (0, 4).

A line perpendicular to y = 4 is a vertical line.

In a vertical line, all points have the same x-coordinate.

Since the point (7, 2) is on the vertical line we want, and its x-coordinate is 7, then x-coordinate of all the points on the line we want is 7.

Answer: x = 7
