It is a vertical line with an infinitely steep gradient.

Explanation:

If this is the equation of a line it can be written as #x=-2#

This is a vertical line which only has an x-intercept at -2.

For any change in y, there is no change in x.

The gradient is said to be undefined.

#y/0# cannot be determined.
