The slope is undefined. The points represent a vertical line.

Explanation:

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

#m# is the slope, #(x_1,y_1)# is one point, and #(x_2,y_2)# is the other point.

I'm going to use #(-3/4,2/3)# as Point 1, and #(-3/4,5/3)# as Point 2. You can reverse the points. You will get the same result.

#m=(5/3-2/3)/(-3/4-(-3/4))#

#m=(3/3)/(0)#

The slope is undefined. The points represent a vertical line.
