    we know that generally the slope means the tan of the angle made by the line with positive x axis
    for x axis itself the angle is 0 degress => tan0=0
    for y axis the angle is 90 degress => tan 90=infinity
    though product of slopes isn't equal to -1
    slope of x axis = -1/slope of y axis
    (0=-1/infinity)
    and slope of y axis=-1/0=infinity
