$7 x = 5$ $7x=5$ is the equation of a vertical line and as such its slope is undefined.

Explanation:

$7 x = 5 XX \Leftrightarrow XX x = \frac{5}{7}$ $7x=5color(white)("XX")hArrcolor(white)("XX")x=5/7$

The value of $x$ $x$ doesn't change no matter what vales are chosen for $y$ $y$
So the slope, defined as $\frac{change in y}{change in x}$ $("change in "y)/("change in "x)$
would require division by zero.
