$x + 1 = 0$ $x+1=0$ is the equation of a vertical line.

Explanation:

There is no definition of the slope of a vertical line.

The line has $x$ $x$ intercept $- 1$ $-1$ . It does not have a $y$ $y$ intercept.

It can be written $x = - 1$ $x=-1$ , but it cannot by written in slope intercept form ( $y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$ ) because it does not have a slope and it does not have a $y$ $y$ intercept.
