Answer 2

Fran - the graph of x = 5 will be a straight vertical line at x=5.

Since it is vertical to the x access their is no slope (per se) or the slope is undefined.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

The previous answer is wrong.

the slope is undefined because it is a vertical line. The answer is a vertical line going through the X = 5.

If the line was horizontal, then the slope would equal 0.

Answer 4

theres no slope
its jst a straight line passing through 5 on the x axis
