Answer:

The slope is undefined.

Explanation:

By looking at the table of values, you can see the x values are not changing. If these points were graphed, they would make a vertical line. Whenever this is the case, the line has an undefined slope.

You can calculate the slope if graphing cannot be done by using the formula:
m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)


m=(4-1)/(-2-(-2))\\m=(3)/(0)\\

Therefore, the slope of this representation is undefined.
