The slope for the pair of coordinates is undefined.

The coordinates are:
$(7,3) = color(blue)(x_1 , y_1$

$(7, -5) = color(blue)(x_2 , y_2$

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope $=color(blue)((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$= ( -5 -3 ) / ( 7 - 7)$

$= ( -8 ) / (0)$ = not defined

The slope for the pair of coordinates is undefined.
