How do you calculate the slope, x intercept, and y intercept of the following equation: x=-3?

You have only the x-intercept.

Explanation:

Your equation represents a vertical line passing through x=-3.
It doesn't have a y-intercept and its slope is indeterminate;
The slope is given as (Deltay)/(Deltax) but x is always -3 so that Deltax=0 for any Deltay: the expression for the slope gives you a division by zero which is indeterminate.
The only thing is the x-intercept that will be found at exactly x=-3.
