I can't tell if you meant to say ' y5 ' or ' y = 5'.

-- ' y5 ' is just a number. It can't be graphed, it doesn't represent a line, and the phrase

"perpendicular to it" has no meaning.

-- ' y = 5 ' is the equation of a horizontal line. Its slope is zero. Any vertical line,

with the equation [ x = a number ] is perpendicular to it. The slope of a vertical line

is "undefined" if you want to be mathematically correct, or "infinity" if you don't care.
