Question Analysis
This problem assesses the understanding of the horizontal asymptote of a reciprocal function.

Key Concept Explanation
For the function $$f(x) = \frac{1}{x + 7}$$, the horizontal asymptote is determined by the behavior of the function as $$x$$ approaches infinity or negative infinity. Since the degree of the numerator (0) is less than the degree of the denominator (1), the horizontal asymptote is $$y = 0$$.

Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the degrees of the numerator and the denominator.
2. Determine that th...
