You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the slope of the passing (?) pair of points and determine if they are parallel perpendicular or neither
------------------
What does "passing" mean?
---------------
(-8,-1) and (4,-4)(-3,-24) and (-6,-12)
Slope = diffy/diffx
For (-8,-1) and (4,-4):
Slope = (-1+4)/(-8-4) = -1/4
----------------
If the slope of the other line is the same, they're parallel.
If it's the negative inverse, +4, they're perpendicular.
Otherwise, neither.
