Answer:

The slope of a vertical line is undefined. The slope of a horizontal line is 0

Explanation:

Slope is rise/run

and the rise of a horizontal line is zero since it neither increases nor decreases; therefore, the slope is zero. while a vertical line has undefined slope since it does not run horizontally because division by zero is an undefined operation.
