For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line

is given by:


m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_(1)} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Where:


(x_ {1}, y_ {1})\ and\ (x_ {2}, y_ {2}) are two points through which the line passes.

According to the statement we have:


(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (3,5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (3, -5)

Substituting we have:


m = \frac {-5-5} {3-3}

It is noted that the slope is undefined.

Answer:

The slope is undefined
