(5,-2)(5,18), find the slope

Because we have the same number in x in the two points we can say that the slope is infinity

An infinite slope is simply a vertical line. When you plot it on a line graph, an infinite slope is any line which runs parallel to the y-axis. You can also describe this as any line that doesn't move along the x-axis but stays fixed at one constant x-axis coordinate, making the change along the x-axis 0

the equation is

x=5
