Your answer was right.
.
a rough sketch show it best. A VERTICAL LINE at x= (1/5),,,,undefined
.
The formula also works, but is not a reassuring,,,m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = 3/0 ,,,undefined

Since the denominator of the slope fraction is the difference of the 
-coordinates, and the -coordinates of your given points are equal, the denominator of your slope fraction would be zero -- therefore undefined is exactly the correct answer.
