answer:

the slope is undefined.

Explanation:

there is an equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) that allows for you to determine the slope. since this line is vertical, the slope is defined because if you plug the points into the equation, you would be dividing by 0.

slope = ( -3 - 8) / (5 - 5)

slope = -11/0
