\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc} &&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\ % (a,b) &S&(~ (1)/(2) &,& 1~) % (c,d) &T&(~ (1)/(2) &,& 4~) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{4-1}{(1)/(2)-(1)/(2)}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{3}{0}}

two points with an undefined slope, means a vertical line, check the picture below.
