Question #046e2 Algebra Expressions, Equations, and Functions Variable Expressions 1 Answer A. S. Adikesavan Apr 2, 2016 #x = -5# is parallel to y-axis. So, there is no meeting with y-axis to make an intercept. Being perpendicular to x-axis, its slope is tan #90^o = oo#. Explanation: Compare the equation #x = -5# with the form #x = y/m + a#. #1/m = 0 ( m=oo )# and the x-intercept a =# -5#..
