The equation, $x = C$ $x = C$ , (where C is any real number) describes a vertical line and vertical lines have an undefined slope.

$slope is undefined$ $"slope is undefined"$

Explanation:

$the line with equation x = 5 is a vertical line$ $" the line with equation " x=5" is a vertical line"$
$parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points$ $"parallel to the y-axis and passing through all points"$
$in the plane with an x-coordinate of 5$ $"in the plane with an x-coordinate of 5"$

$since it is parallel to the y-axis the slope is undefined$ $"since it is parallel to the y-axis the slope is "color(blue)"undefined"$

the $s l o p e$ $slope$ of a linear $e q u a t i o n$ $equation$ can be expressed

$tan θ$ $color(red)(tan)color(purple)(theta)$ $color(pink)$ (where $θ$ $theta$ is the angle made in the anticlock wise direction with the x axis)

here $θ$ $theta$ is $90$ $90$ $d e g r e e s$ $degrees$
now, of course
$tan 90$ $color(blue)(tan)color(red)(90)$ is undefined
the slope is undefined
