Answer:

slope is undefined

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, 3)

m =
(3+1)/(-3+3) =
(4)/(0)

Since division by zero is undefined, then the slope is undefined.

This indicates the line is vertical and parallel to the y- axis
