(-3,5)(-3,3)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (3 - 5) / (-3 - (-3) = -2/0....this means the slope is undefined...u have a vertical line and ur equation of the line would be x = -3

Answer:

the slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

[tex]A(-3,5)\ B(-3,3)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{3-5}{-3+3}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-2}{0}[/tex] -------> the slope is undefined

The line AB is a vertical line parallel to the y-axis

The equation of the line AB is [tex]x=-3[/tex]
