Make a vertical line on $-5$ on a graph

In order to graph this in slope-intercept form there has to be a slope.

When $x=$ something and there is no $y$ then it can't be graphed as $y=$

The slope in undefined so there is no slope-intercept form of this equation.

But you can still graph it that way you wrote it.
