Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

to find the slope of the line you take the difference of the y-values divided by the difference of the x-values; the denominator results in zero

When the denominator for slope is zero then you know the line will not intersect the y-axis at all and the line will be vertical and intersect the x-axis at the x-coordinate of any known point

any fraction with zero in the denominator is considered to be 'undefined'

any fraction with zero in the numerator is zero
