You can put this solution on YOUR website!
That small equation, x=8 is the line x=8 in which y is all Real Numbers. This is a vertical line with no slope (because it is a vertical line). Now, what kind of line is perpendicular to a vertical line? What is the slope of such a line? ZERO. Slope of zero means horizontal line.

You are looking for a horizontal line containing (-7,7). Finish?
