(-3,5)(-3,3)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3 - 5) / (-3 - (-3) = -2/0....this means the slope is undefined...u have a vertical line and ur equation of the line would be x = -3

Answer:

the slope is undefined

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to



m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


we have



A(-3,5)\ B(-3,3)


Substitute the values



m=(3-5)/(-3+3)



m=(-2)/(0) -------> the slope is undefined

The line AB is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis

The equation of the line AB is
x=-3
