Determine slope and y intercept of line

[LinkII08]

I have trouble with the following question: "Determine the slope and y-intercept of the line x=-5?"

I am aware that the slope would be undefined, but what would be the y-intercept? Is there a y-intercept? How do I figure it out?

If the line is a vertical line - like in this case - it does not "intercept" y-axis, hence there is no y-intercept.

thanks, so does that mean the y intercept would be 0? or would it be considered undefined or something else?

It just does not exist.
