The general form of the line is y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is y-intercept

Using the given points (-4, 3) and (-4 , 7)

So, the slope will be calculated as following:


\text{slope}=(7-3)/(-4-(-4))=(4)/(-4+4)=(4)/(0)

it is not logic to divide by zero

so, the slope is undefined which mean the line passing through

the points (-4 , 3 ) and (-4 , 7) is parallel to y-axis

and the equation of this line is x = -4

So, slope is undefined
