Question 239272
the standard form of the equation for a straight line is:


ax + by = c


where:


a = 1
b = 0
c = 5


the equation becomes:


1x + 0y = 5


this reduces to x = 5


the value of x is always 5.


y can be any value because it is not dependent on the value of x since it is no longer a part of the equation.


the slope is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) which winds up being anything divided by 0 which makes it undefined.


this is the equation of a vertical line at x = 5.


the slope is undefined.
