Answer:

slope is undefined

Explanation:

calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 6, - 4 )

substitute these values into the formula for m

m =
(-4-1)/(-6-(-6)) =
(-5)/(-6+6) =
(-5)/(0)

in mathematics division by zero is undefined

then the slope of the line is undefined
