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

(0,-2),(1,3).
(3,-1),(-2,0).
m1 = (3-(-2)) / (1-0) = 5/1 = 5.
m2 = (0-(-1)) / (-2-3) = 1/-5 = -1/5.
mi and m2 are negative reciprocals of each other.Therefore, the lines are
perpendicular.
