SOLUTION: A line contains points (2, -2) and (-4, 1). Another line graphed in the same coordinate plane contains points (1, 2) and (-3, 4). Based on the slopes of these lines, are they paral

Question 314553: A line contains points (2, -2) and (-4, 1). Another line graphed in the same coordinate plane contains points (1, 2) and (-3, 4). Based on the slopes of these lines, are they parallel, perpendicular or neither?
