The slope of x=8 is "undefined"

Explanation:

x=8 is the equation of a vertical line.

Slope is defined as ("change in " y)/("corresponding change in "x)

But the value of x doesn't change i.e., the change in x is always 0;
so the definition of slope would require division by 0 (which is not defined).
