If you want to find the equation of line with an undefined slope which goes through the point (-5,0), simply draw a vertical line through x=-5:

drawing%28500%2C+500%2C+-14%2C+4%2C+-9%2C+9%2C%0D%0Agraph%28500%2C+500%2C+-14%2C+4%2C+-9%2C+9%2C0%29%2C%0D%0Aline%28-5%2C-20%2C-5%2C20%29%0D%0A%29+ Graph of x=-5

So this simply means that the equation of the line is x=-5 (notice y is not in the equation. So this means this equation is not in slope-intercept form)
