Answer: Choice D)

No slope, the term x2-x1 is zero and we cannot have zero in the denominator.

=========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The two points both have x coordinates x = 7. Since both x coordinates are the same, they subtract to 0. Recall that something like 1/0 is undefined, so we cannot have 0 in the denominator.

The line through (7,10) and (7,20) is a vertical line. All vertical lines have undefined slopes.
