How do you find the slope of (-3/4 , 2/3) , (-3/4, 5/3)?

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.
