The slope for the pair of coordinates is not defined.

The coordinates are:
$(- 3, 0) = (x_{1}, y_{1})$ $(-3,0) = color(blue)((x_1 , y_1)$

$(- 3, 11) = (x_{2}, y_{2})$ $(-3, 11) = color(blue)((x_2 , y_2)$

The slope is calculated using formula:

Slope $= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ $=color(blue)((y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)$

$= \frac{11 - 0}{(- 3 - (- 3))}$ $= (11-0) / ((-3-(-3))$

$= \frac{11}{(- 3 + 3)}$ $= (11) / ((-3+ 3)$

$= \frac{11}{0}$ $= (11) / 0$
