Answer: No slope / undefined

Explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of a slope.

The slope is the measure of the steepness of a line.

The basic formula of slope is [Rise / Run] which is basically [Y] value (vertical) over [X] value (horizontal)

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for the full formula.

Solve:

(7 ,1)

(7, -2)

Slope = (1 - (-2)) / (7-7)

Slope = (3) / 0

Slope = Undefined

Indeed, it is a vertical line. By definition, a vertical line has no slope.

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions or need further explanations
