Find the slope and y intercept

x = -8

This is an unusual type of line.

A line whose equation is of the form x = a
is a vertical line "a" units right of the y-axis
if "a" is positive, and |a| units left of the
y-axis if "a" is negative.

Such a line has neither a slope nor a y-intercept.
All other lines have both, but this kind doesn't.
