Hello.

There are really 2 ways to think about the given problem.

First, we can use the slope formula:

$\displaystyle(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)$

$\displaystyle(-6-(-2))/(-9-(-9)) =(-6+2)/(-9+9) =(-4)/(0) =$

Slope = undefined

The second way is to just take a look at the points.

You should notice that the x-coordinates are the same.'

If the x-coordinates are the same, then the slope is

$\Large\boxed{Und.efined}}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
