Because there is no x term in this equation this is, by definition, a horizontal line where for any and all values of x, y is 10. And, by definition a horizontal line has slope 0.
A line perpendicular to a horizontal line is a vertical line. A vertical line, by definition has a slope which is undefined.
Therefore the slope of any line perpendicular to y=10 is undefined.
