Answer: The slope is "undefined."

Step-by-step explanation: In math, division by 0 is undefined-- like you can't do it

For slope, you need to divide rise/run. If the run is 0, so undefined.

In real life, this surface would be like a wall or a door. They don't have a slope if they're constructed properly!
