ANSWER

m = undefined

Step-by-step explanation

We have the two points K and J.

We want to find the slope.

Slope is the rate of change of the y values with respect to the x values.

The formula for slope is:


m\text{ = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

where (x1, y1) = Point K (-4, -6)

(x2, y2) =Point J (-4, 3)

Therefore, the slope is:


\begin{gathered} m\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ - (-6)}}{-4\text{ -(-4)}} \\ m\text{ = }\frac{3\text{ + 6}}{-4\text{ + 4}}\text{ = }(9)/(0) \\ m\text{ = undefined} \end{gathered}

This means that the line is a vertical line.
