X =8 does not have a defined slope.

Explanation:

Slope is the change in y divided by the change in x

# (y_1 -y_2)/ (x_1- x_2)#

Take two points on the line ( 8, 2) , ( 8,0)

Put these points into the equation for slope.

# slope = ( 2-0)/(8-8) #

# (2-0)/(8-8) = 2/0#

Dividing by 0 is undefined.

X =8 has a slope that is undefined.
