Find the slope of the line passing through the given points: A (8, 4); B (8, 7)
A) $m = 3$
B) $\frac { 1 } { 3 }$

The slope of a line passing through points $A(x_1, y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ is given by $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Here, $x_1 = x_2 = 8$, which means the denominator of the slope formula is 0, leading to an undefined slope. This indicates a vertical line.
