\huge{\boxed{\text{unde\\fined}}}

The formula for slope is
(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1), where
(x_1, y_1) and
(x_2, y_2) are the points.

Substitute in the values.
(-3-4)/(1-1)

Subtract.
(-7)/(0)

When you divide any number by zero, the quotient is
\boxed{\text{unde\\fined}}.

A line with an undefined slope is a vertical (straight up and down) line.
