Actually, you can't: $x = 2.7$ $x=2.7$ isn't even a function, because it's a vertical line. This means that you are giving infinite values of $y$ $y$ to a single value of $x$ $x$ , while you should give one, and one only value of $y$ $y$ for each $x$ $x$ in the domain.

The only way for answering this question is considering the $x$ $x$ as a function of $y$ $y$ , while we usually do the opposite. By doing so, $x = 2.7$ $x=2.7$ would be a constant function, and would thus have slope equal to $0$ $0$ .
