The slope is undefined.

\n" ); document.write( "becomes
\n" ); document.write( "x=-2\r

Solved by pluggable solver: DESCRIBE a linear EQUATION: slope, intercepts, etc

this equation defines a vertical line.
\n" ); document.write( "

X intercept: -2. X intercept is the intersection of the line with the x axis.

Y intercept: not defined (the line IS vertical)

Slope: not defined, can be thought of as infinite
