It means that the slope Does Not Exist  [D.N.E.]......a better term is to say that the slope is undefined.....to see why, note....

 

slope  = [ 5 - 10]  / [ 12 - 12]   =   -5/0      but....we can't divide by 0 ...  [ this is undefined]

The equation for this line is   x = 12    The slope is 'undefined'
