Explanation:

a line with undefined slope is a vertical line, because x does not change on this line at all, and therefore the shoe is y/0.

a vertical line is parallel to the y-axis.

and to go through the given point, it has to use the x- coordinate.

so, the equation is

x = -5

that's really it.

this is the line of all points with the x-coordinate = -5. any value for y is valid.
