It is a vertical curve. Its slope is #oo#

Since x co-ordinate at both the points are '3'

Its equation is x = 3

It is parallel to y axis. Its slope is #oo#

When two points are given the formula to calculate slope is -

m = #(y_2 - y_1)/ (x_2 - x_1)#

#x_1# = 3
#y_1# = 2
#x_2# = 3
#y_2# = -6

m = #((-6) - 2)/ (3 -3)# = #(-8)/0# = #oo#
