The slope for this equation is undefined and the y-intercept is 0

I think the answer you were given is not completely correct........

Your equation of a line is x = -5. What you have to know is this:

When x equals a number, the line will be VERTICAL and your slope is UNDEFINED.
When y equals a number, the line will be HORIZONTAL and your slope is ZERO.

Anyway, the graph of x = -5 a vertical line, that crosses the "x" axis at -5. Here are some possible ordered pairs (there are many others!) that would make up the line:

(-5, 1)
(-5, 0)
(-5, -5)
(-5, 10) See how all the "x" variables are -5?

The x intercept - or where the line "bumps into" (intercepts/crosses) the x axis - is (-5,0). However, please draw this graph on a piece of paper using the ordered pairs I gave you. If you do that, you'll see that this line will never "bump into"/intercept/cross the y axis. Therefore, there is no y intercept for your x = -5 equation.

SO.. your slope is: Undefined
Your x intercept is: (-5, 0)
There is no y intercept. The previous answer said your your y intercept is 0. That is not correct.

I hope this helps you. :-)

x = -5 for all values of y.
This is parallel to the y-axis.
--> slope is infinite, or undefined.
It does not intersect the y-axis, it's parallel. No y-intercept.
