Undefined. This is a vertical line. One characteristic that makes this a vertical line is that the -coordinate of every point on the line has the exact same -coordinate value, in this case the value 5.

Consider the slope formula:

where and are the coordinates of the given points.

Note that if both of the given points have the identical -coordinates, then the denominator of the slope formula is zero. Anything with a zero denominator is undefined.

It is a vertical line. The slope is infinite and there is no intercept.
