The slope is undefined.

Explanation:

To find the slope with two points, you can use the formula #m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)# where m is slope, x1 and y1 are the x and y of one point, and x2 and y2 are the x and y of the other point.

Since #m = 3/0#, it is not possible to divide by zero, resulting in an undefined slope.

You could also see this as a graph; since the x stays the same between the two points, you can imagine the line going vertically, telling you that the line is undefined. (Besides, you can't time travel (if x was time).)
