The slope of this line does not exist.

Explanation:

Slope is only defined for lines on which there are two points: #(x_1, y_1)# and #(x_2, y_2)# with #x_1 != x_2#

This is because we use #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)# to define the slope, but division by zero is not defined.
And if #x_1 = x_2#, then #x_2-x_1 = 0#.
