Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

You want the slope of the line through points (-1, 1) and (-1, 4).

Slope

The two points lie on the vertical line x = -1. A vertical line has undefined slope.

The slope of the line is undefined.

__

Additional comment

The slope is the ratio of rise to run. For a vertical line, the "run" is zero for any chosen "rise." Division by zero gives an undefined result.
