Answer:

undefined

Explanation:

the slope of the line graphed (a vertical line) is undefined.

No matter how large we set out slope, we will never reach a vertical slope. As we approach infinity, we will get closer, and closer, but we can never fully have a slope of a vertical line.

A slope of 1 means that we move up 1, over 1. A slope of 2 means that we move up 2, over 1. Even if we move up 5000, we still move over at least slightly (with a slope).

It is undefined because it does not run horizontally.

Answer: undefined

Explanation:

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because there is no rise/run and the slope formula would give you something over 0, which is undefined
