What do the coordinates of an undefined slope have in common?

The coordinates of an undefined slope are points that are either the same or have no x-value. In both cases, the slope of a line between these points would be undefined because it would involve dividing by 0, which is not allowed in mathematics. This is because the slope of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates, and if the x-coordinates are the same or do not exist, this division would result in an undefined value.
