Question 262509
I think the answer you were given is not completely correct........


Your equation of a line is x = -5.   What you have to know is this:


When x equals a number, the line will be VERTICAL and your slope is UNDEFINED.

When y equals a number, the line will be HORIZONTAL and your slope is ZERO.


Anyway, the graph of x = -5 a vertical line, that crosses the "x" axis at -5.  Here are some possible ordered pairs (there are many others!) that would make up the line:


(-5, 1)
(-5, 0)
(-5, -5)
(-5, 10)   See how all the "x" variables are -5?  




The x intercept - or where the line "bumps into" (intercepts/crosses) the x axis - is (-5,0).  However, please draw this graph on a piece of paper using the ordered pairs I gave you.  If you do that, you'll see that this line will never "bump into"/intercept/cross the y axis.  Therefore, there is no y intercept for your x = -5 equation.


SO.. your slope is:  Undefined
Your x intercept is:  (-5, 0)
There is no y intercept. The previous answer said your your y intercept is 0.  That is not correct.



I hope this helps you. :-)
