Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

slope = (-9 - 3)/(5 - 5)

slope = -12/0

Since the slope calculation involves division by zero, this line has undefined slope. The two points have the same x-coordinate, so the line is vertical. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
