To figure the slope of a line, you can either use
(rise)/(run) or
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). Remember, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

We can use the point (12, 10) as (x1, y1) and the point (12, 5) as (y1, y2):


m = (5 - 10)/(12 - 12)


m = (-5)/(0)


m = 0

So, the answer is 0, which means the slope is undefined.
