Answer

The slope is undefined and the line is vertical.

Solution

Since both points have the same x-coordinate (-1), the change in x is 0, which makes the slope formula result in division by zero. Therefore: B. The slope is undefined and the line is vertical.

B. The slope is undefined Since both points have the same x-coordinate (-1), the line passing through them is vertical. Vertical lines have an undefined slope because you cannot divide by zero (the change in x is zero). In this case, the line does not rise or fall; it simply extends vertically upwards between the two points.
