Fill in the Blank

A CNC programmer is verifying the toolpath for a vertical cut on a metal sheet. The cut starts at (5, 1) and ends at (5,−4)(5, -4) on the machine's coordinate grid. When calculating the slope of this toolpath, the denominator evaluates to zero. This means the mathematical slope of the line is ____, resulting in the vertical line equation x=5x = 5.
