then the slope is x=y. there is no slope.
Examples of slope: http://www.answers.com/topic/slope http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
X=5 is a vertical line, so it has no slope. When I say it has no slope, I don't mean the slope is 0, I mean the slope is nonexistent.

The discharge of a stream is directly affected by the slope of the stream channel. A steeper slope will generally result in a higher discharge due to increased velocity and energy to transport water. Conversely, a gentler slope will result in lower discharge.
A channel through which water is continually flowing downhill is a stream. A large channel in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm is a gully.
The side of a channel is referred to as a "bank." It is the raised edges that contain and direct the flow of water within the channel.
Slope affects the speed of a river's flow: steeper slopes lead to faster-flowing rivers. Gravity influences the direction and force of the water flow within the river channel. Together, slope and gravity determine the erosion, sediment transport, and overall shape of the river over time.
As slope increases, the rate of stream erosion generally increases. This is because steeper slopes provide more gravitational energy for the stream to carry sediment and erode the channel, resulting in faster erosion processes. Additionally, fast-flowing water on steeper slopes can also increase the force of impact on the channel bed and banks, further accelerating erosion.
