Answer:


x=-5

The slope is undefined.

Explanation:

A line perpendicular to the x-axis is vertical. since it passes through the point (-5,-1) it has an x value of -5 anywhere on the line.

Slope is rise divided by run but on a vertical line, the run is zero and we cannot divide by zero so the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
