See a solution process below:

The equation $x = 5$ $x = 5$ is the equation of a vertical line where for each and every value of $y$ $y$ , $x$ $x$ is equal to $5$ $5$

By definition the slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Because the value of $x$ $x$ will never be $0$ $0$ there is no $y$ $y$ -intercept.

However, for $y = 0$ $y = 0$ , $x$ $x$ will equal $5$ $5$ so the $x$ $x$ -intercept is at $(5, 0)$ $(5, 0)$

So we can graph this as a vertical line crossing the $x$ $x$ -axis at $5$ $5$

graph{y-1000x+5000= 0}
