We have two points, (9,11) and (9,15).

We have to find the slope of the line that passes through them.

In this case, the line that passes through them is a vertical line.

As the slope m is defined as:


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

as x1 = x2 in this case (both points have the same x-coordinate), the denominator will be 0 and then the slope will be undefined.

Vertical lines have undefined slopes.

Answer: the slope is undefined as it is a vertical line.
