The line is vertical. It has no measurable slope. Because it is parallel to the y-axis, there is no y-intercept.

It's a vertical line through the point (-1, 0). The slope is undefined & there is no y-intercept.
[Recall the definition of slope: change in y / change in x. Since x = -1, for each y value, the denominator is (-1 - (-1)) = (-1 + 1) = 0. Division by zero is undefined.]

there is a vertical line passes through x = -1. The vertical line has no slope, or slope is undefined. There is no y-intercept because the line does not intercept the y-axis

x = -1 is the equation of a vertical line that passes through the point (-1,0). x has the value -1 no matter what y is.
Since the line is vertical it has no slope; it is undefined.

Slope is undefined, and there is no y-intercept. That is just a vertical line.

from the question the line is vertical on the left side of the graph,therefore it has no slope.Also the line being parallel to the y-axis has no y-intercept.
