Step-by-step explanation

We are to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1,−7) and (1,13)

To do so, we will use the formula


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

where


\begin{gathered} x_1=1 \\ y_1=-7 \\ x_2=1 \\ y_2=13 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope will be


\begin{gathered} slope=(13-(-7))/(1-1)=(13+7)/(0)=(20)/(0) \\ \\ slope=(20)/(0) \end{gathered}

Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined

The answer is undefined
