The line is #y=7#.

Explanation:

The line passes through the points #(3,7)# and has a slope of #m=0#.

We know that the slope of a line is given by:

#m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

And so,

#(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=0#

#:.x_2!=x_1,y_2=y_1#

Choosing a y-coordinate, we see that it passes through #(3,7)#, and so #y_2=y_1=7#.

Therefore, the line is #y=7#.

Here is a graph of the line:
