Find the equation of the straight line, when gradient=0 and passes through point (2,7)...is the answer y=7 If so how do you do it?

Question

This seems correct yes. The general equation for a straight line is:
$$y = Ax + B$$
can you calculate its gradient (or derivative)?

I did it that way I was just unsure on how the answer should be.. Whether it was y=7 or y=x-0 or something?

If you followed that path you should find that a straight line with gradient 0 is:
$$y=B$$
If this line passes through the point (2,7) then this means that when x=2, y=7. As you stated, B must be 7 :)
