Special formula you will need to use:
+M+=+%28y2+-+y1%29%2F%28x2+-+x1%29 where x2, x1, y2, y1 are the points you have been given. So you were given these two points (-6,8) and (-6,12). Putting it into the equation we get:
M+=+%2812+-+8%29%2F%28-6+-+%28-6%29%29+=+4%2F%28-6+%2B+6%29+=+4%2F0 = undefined because 0 is in the denominator.
Literally, you would put undefined as your answer ;)
