Answer:

Undefined

Solution:

  • Notice that the x-coordinates of the points that the line intersects are the same.
  • If the x-coordinates are the same, then the slope is undefined.
  • If the slope is undefined, then the line's run is equal to 0 units.
  • Remember the slope formula:
  • Rise/Run
  • Rise - how many units we move up or down
  • Run - how many units we move left or right
  • If the run is zero, then we basically divide by zero, which we can't do.

Hope it helps.
