x=7 is a vertical line. It has no slope-intercept form; its slope is undefined and it never intercepts the y-axis.

Erm. . .
Vertical lines do not have slope intercept forms because their slopes are undefined, and because they will never intercept the y-axis (unless, of course, x=0, which is the y-axis).
Horizontal lines, on the other hand, are in slope intercept form; y = 0x + b is the same as y = b, where the line intercepts the y-axis at b and the slope is zero.

The slope is infinite, so the slope-intercept form does not exist.

The correct answer is, as most people have written: can't be done.
The Raymond way is
y = âx + â
(â on my computer is the symbol for infinity: looks like an 8 lying on its side).
Of course, in that form, the equation is totally useless.
