Question 422648: A line contains the points (1,-3) and (1, -2). Another line graphed in the same coordinate plane contains the points (-2,0) and (-3,-3).
Based on the slope of these lines, are they parallel, perpendicular or neither?

The slope of a line is (change in y)/(change in x)
given:
(1,-3) and (1,-2)
slope =
slope =
division by means the line is vertical (infinite slope)
and
(-2,0) and (-3,-3)
slope =
slope =
They are neither
