Answer

The processes are similar in that in order to determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular, we look at the slope of the two lines. For parallel lines, we need to prove that the lines have the same slope. For perpendicular lines, we need to see if the product of the slopes of the two lines equals $-1$.
