Answer: A verticle line does not have a slope.

Step-by-step explanation: Slope is the rate of change of y for each change in x. y = 2x is a line with slope of 2. Each time x is incremented by 1, y will increase by twice (2x) that amount. There is no slope to a verticle line, unless you want to call it infinite. The value of y is not defined by x.
