Question 73324: I need to solve this problem, horz line intersects a vertical line at (-3,7). Give the equation of each line in standard form. I know standard form is ax + by = c, I also know the equation for these lines is x = -3 and y = 7, is this in standard form if not how do I get it into standard form?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your answers x = -3 and y = +7 are correct.
.
As you stated, the standard form for a linear equation is:
.
ax + by = c
.
The equation x = -3 is already in standard form. a is 1, b is 0, and c is -3.
.
The equation y = +7 is also already in standard form. a is 0, b is 1, and c is +7
.
You don't need to do anything else to your answers.
.
Good work on correctly identifying the equations of those perpendicular lines.
.
Hope this helps.
