Answer: x = 5

You can pick any number you want, as long as it's not zero. The equation x = 5 has all points on this line that have an x coordinate of 5. The y coordinate can be anything you want

Example points on this line are: (5,1) and (5,2)

Note: this is a vertical line with the slope undefined. There is no y intercept. This is not a function because it fails the vertical line test.
