You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Being parallel to the x-axis means that no matter
what value of x that you see on the line, the value
of y never changes
You are given the point (-1,-7), but you can also say
the line passes through ( x,-7) where x is any value
you care to choose
The equation of the line is +y+=+-7+
Here's the plot:
