Since the equation x=5 is not in slope-intercept form, this means that the equation has an undefined slope and does not have a y-intercept. To see why, simply graph the equation to get

Graph of x=5


From the graph we can see that the equation is a vertical line. This means that the slope is undefined.

Also, we can see that the graph does not cross the y-axis. So it does not have a y-intercept.
