Answer:

it is undefined

Explanation:

Slope of the line x=-24 is undefined. We'll compare the line x = -24, with x = h. So this line is a vertical line that is parallel to the y-axis. We know that the slope of the y-axis is undefined. Since x=-24 and y-axis are parallel, so x=-24 will have the same slope, that is undefined.

Answer:

undefined slope

Explanation:

When you have the line x=-24, you have a vertical line, where the x-value is constant, given in the equation, but the y-value varies between negative infinity and positive infinity. If we were to plug two points into the slope formula, we would get:
(y_2-y_1)/(-24-(-24))\to(y_2-y_1)/(0), because there is no change in x, the x values are the same. Thus it is said that the slope is undefined.
