Answer:

slope = 0

Given:

(3, 7)

(3, -2)

The formula for the slope is solved by the following formula:


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

From the given, we know that:

x₁ = 3

x₂ = 3

y₁ = 7

y₂ = -2

Substituting these values to the formula, we will get:


\begin{gathered} m=(y_(2)-y_(1))/(x_(2)-x_(1)) \\ m=(-2-7)/(3-3) \\ m=(-9)/(0) \\ m=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope would be 0.
