You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express the answer using the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. horizontal; containing the point (-7, -2) =============
 If by horizontal, you mean parallel to the x-axis, then the y value is constant.
 --> y = -2
 ========================
 In a 3-space system, "horizontal" can be the x-y, y-z or x-z plane.
 ---------
 If you rotate a piece of paper labeled with x & y axes 90 degs, horizontal can be either the x or y axis.
