The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-6, -1) and (-6, 4).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{-6-(-6)}=\dfrac{4+1}{-6+6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\ !!!$

Dividing by 0 is not possible, therefore the slope is undefined.

<em>It's a vertical line x = -6</em>.

$(\frac{x^{a+b} }{x^{c} }) ^{a-b}.(\frac{x^{b+c} }{x^{a} }) ^{b-c} .(\frac{x^{c+a} }{x^{b} })^{c-a}\\\\= \frac{x^{(a+b)(a-b)} }{x^{c(a-b)} }.\frac{x^{(b+c)(b-c)} }{x^{a(b-c)} }.\frac{x^{(c+a)(c-a)} }{x^{b(c-a)} }\\\\=\frac{x^{a^{2}-b^{2} } }{x^{ac-bc} }.\frac{x^{b^{2}-c^{2} } }{x^{ab-ac} }.\frac{x^{c^{2}-a^{2} } }{x^{bc-ab} } \\\\=\frac{x^{a^{2}-b^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2} } }{x^{ac-bc+ab-ac+bc-ab} }\\\\=\frac{x^{0} }{x^{0} }=1$
