+y+=+7+ is a horizontal line through ( 0, 7 )
-----------------------
The slope of a horizontal line is zero
( 2, 4 )
Use the general point-slope formula:
+%28+y+-+4+%29+%2F+%28+x+-+2+%29+=+0+
+y+-+4+=+0%2A%28+x+-+2+%29+
+y+-+4+=+0+
+y+=+4+
Notice +y+=+4+ is also a horizontal line
and it goes through ( 0, 4 )
