This is an equation for a vertical line where for each and every value of $y$ $y$ , $x$ $x$ is equal to $- \frac{2}{5}$ $-2/5$ .

By definition the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Also, because $x$ $x$ is always $- \frac{2}{5}$ $-2/5$ for every value of $y$ $y$ , $x$ $x$ is never equal to $0$ $0$ therefore there is no $y$ $y$ intercept.

Undefined slope; $x$ $x$ -intercept: $(- \frac{2}{5}, 0)$ $(-2/5,0)$

Explanation:

The line $x =$ $x=$ indicates that the line is vertical crossing through the $x$ $x$ -axis. The slope of a vertical line is always undefined because if you did try to find the slope of this line via the slope formula, you would find that the denominator would be $0$ $0$ so it's undefined. Additionally, since the line is vertical, it only crosses the $x$ $x$ -axis and not the $y$ $y$ so the $x$ $x$ -intercept is the line $x = - \frac{2}{5}$ $x=-2/5$
