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.

What is a slope of the line y5?
If y = 5 then there is no slope because the line is parallel to the x axis
How do you identify the slope of the line that that would be parallel to the given line y5-3x?
Calculate the slope of the given line. Any line parallel to it will have the same slope.
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
What is the slope of a perpendicular line is always?
The negative reciprocal of the slope of the line to which it is perpendicular.
What is a perpendicular line referring to slope in math?
The slope of a perpendicular line is not defined.
