x = 1
Why? Because an undefined slope indicates a vertical line. A vertical line always has eqn. x = something. Looking at the ordered pair given, x = 1.

An undefined slope means the line is vertical and parallel to the y-axis. x has the same value every on that vertical line. Since the line passes through the point (1,-4) the equation is simply x=1.

It is x=1 because that would be a vertical line and has an undefined slope.

Undefined slope means it's parallel to the Y axis, and is of the form x= some number. ie., y can be anything, but x is always that fixed number.
x=0 represents the Y axis.
In your case, since the line passes through (1,4), that number is 1.
Ans x = 1

Yes. x=1 works.
It has an undefined slope at (1,-4) or for all values of x?
If its only undefined at (1,-4) it could also be |x-1|-4
