Answer: undefined

================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-9-7)/(-4-(-4))

m = (-9-7)/(-4+4)

m = -16/0

We cannot divide by zero, so the slope is undefined.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope because any two points on this line will have x coordinates of the same value. Those x coordinates subtract to 0.
