See an explanation below:

Explanation:

This equation represents a vertical line where #x# is always equal to #4# for every value of #y#.

By definition, the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Because the value of #x# is always equal to #4# the x-intercept is #(4, 0)#

Because the value of #x# is always equal to #4# it is never equal to #0# therefore there is no y-intercept.
