You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Undefined slopes are vertical lines in the cartesian plane.
With vertical lines, we only have one value for x, but we have all values for y.
So, your equation in this case should be x=5
Naturally, this line will cross point (5,-3), as well as all other points of y.
