Answer:

The slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

The equation of the line s is equal to

[tex]x=3[/tex]

This is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

The slope is undefined

Because

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

[tex](3,3)\ (3,-2)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{-2-3}{3-3}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-5}{0}[/tex]  ------> is undefined

The point T is (5,-1)

The equation of the line parallel to the line s that passes through the point T, will be a vertical line and the equation  is equal to the x-coordinate of point T

therefore

The equation is

[tex]x=5[/tex]
