Answer:

The slope is undefined

Explanation:

x = -4 is a vertical line. Slope is defines as the change in y divided by the change in x.

(change in y)/(change in x)

All the points on this line have the same x value, so the change in x is zero. This means we have

(change in y)/0, which is undefined.
