(5, 9) and (5, -3)
-------------
slope = [9--3]/[5-5] = undefined
or "no slope"

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (5, 9) and (5, -3)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%28-3+-+9%29%2F%285+-+5%29


m+=+%28-12%29%2F%280%29


Since you CANNOT divide by 0, this means that the slope of the line is undefined.


Answer: The slope of the line is undefined.
