Answer:

slope = undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line that passes between two points, use the slope formula, [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]. Substitute the x and y values of (-4, 6) and (-4,-2) into the formula and simplify like so:

[tex]m = \frac{(-2)-(6)}{(-4)-(-4)}\\m= \frac{-2-6}{-4+4} \\m = \frac{-8}{0}[/tex]  

However, we can't divide by zero. This must mean that the slope of this line is undefined.
