Answer:
\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{Unde fined}

Explanation:

Given information


(x_1,~y_1)=(-8,~-1)


(x_2,~y_2)=(-8,~11)

Given the formula for the slope


\text{Slope}=(\Delta y)/(\Delta x)=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Substitute values into the formula


\text{Slope}=((11)-(-1))/((-8)-(-8))

Simplify the numerator and the denominator


\text{Slope}=(11+1)/(-8+8)


\text{Slope}=(12)/(0)

Simplify the fraction


\text{Since any number divided by 0 is impossible to find, therefore: }


\text{Slope}=\Large\boxed{Unde fined}

Hope this helps!! :)
