Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

4 - 9 = x - 2

-5 = x - 2

-3 = x

this is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis) at x = -3.

that means the slope of this line is "undefined". or some would call it "infinite".

as the slope is the ratio of y/x describing how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units.

now the change of x for this line is constant 0.

so, we have a slope y/0, which is undefined.
