the slope would be undefined...it would be a straight line, so the rise would be 1 and the run would be 0

The equation x=4 is not a line, but represents a point on a graph where x=4. A line has a slope and a y intercept. The equation y=mx+b is the equation for a straight line where m is the slope and x and b are points on the coordinate axes. Example the line x=y is a straight line passing thru y=0 with a slope of 1.

The slope is 0, because the equation for the line is really
x+ 0*y = 4

to find slope of a line ,differentiate the line equation
here, while differentiating x=4 with respect to y...
dx/dy=0...since differentiating a constant is zero
