Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

You want the slope of the line through the points (7, -4) and (7, 0).

Vertical line

A line through two points with the same x-coordinate is a vertical line. The slope is "undefined."

Additional comment

The slope is the ratio of rise to run. Here, the vertical difference between the two points is 4, and the horizontal difference is 0. The ratio rise/run is ...

m = rise/run = 4/0 = undefined
