Answer: The slope is undefined.

Explanation:

Using the formula given, find the difference in the y coordinates of the points and divide it by the x coordinates.

(3,6)

(3,-3)

y coordinates: 6 - (-3) = 9

x coordinates: 3- 3 = 0

9/0 = undefined.

Any number being divided by 0 is undefined because you can't divide something by anything.

Also remember that if a line is vertical through any of the x coordinate, the slope will always be undefined and the equation of line is x = 3
