A the slope of a horizontal line is 0, and the slope of a vertical line is undefined.
A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.
As a result the formula used for slope %28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29 has a denominator of 0, which makes the slope undefined.

plot a point (1,4) and draw a vertical line through it
