Perpendicular to the x-axis would indicate a vertical line.

The equation for a vertical line consists of "x = ",
and then on the other side of the equal sign, is the x-coordinate that it passes through.

The equation of the vertical line passing through (-5,-2) would be x = -5.
The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
