How to find the slope of a line with one number given #y=1.5# or #x=-7#?

There are an infinite number of (straight) lines through a single point and therefore there is no single value that can be established as a slope.

Perhaps the intent was that #1.5# was the y-intercept and #(-7)# was the x-intercept. This would give us two points, #(0,1.5)# and #(-7,0)# and the possibility of calculating a slope. Please re-post with correction if this is the case.
