Answer

$\boxed{\text{The slope is undefined}}$

Steps

Step 1 ：Given the points $(-4,-3)$ and $(-4,-5)$, we can use the formula for finding the slope:

Step 2 ：$slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

Step 3 ：Plug in the values: $slope = \frac{-5 - (-3)}{-4 - (-4)}$

Step 4 ：Since the denominator is 0, the slope is undefined.

Step 5 ：$\boxed{\text{The slope is undefined}}$
