y=-2, because slope is zero.

Rule: The equation of a line wit slope m and passing through the point (x1,y1)
is given by
+y-y1+=m%28x-x1%29
point (x1,y1)= (3,-2)
the line is parallel to y=7
y= 7 is a horizontal line
hence slope =0
hence m =0
put this values in the above equation
%28y-%28-2%29%29=0%28x-3%29
%28y%2B2%29+=0
+y%2B2+=+0
move 2 to the right
+y=+-2
the equation you are looking for is y =-2
