    x = 2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y = - 5 is a horizontal line parallel to the x - axis.

    A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y - axis with equation

    x = c

    Where c is the value of the x - coordinates the line passes through.

    The line passes through (2, 7) with an x - coordinate of 2, thus

    x = 2 ← is the equation of the perpendicular line
