Answer:

C. Neither

Explanation:

The first equation is
y=2x+13

This equation is already in the slope-intercept form;
y=mx+c

The slope of this equation is 2.

The second equation is
y=-2x+2 .

This equation is also already in the slope-intercept form.

The slope of this equation is
.

Since the two slopes are not the same, the two lines are not parallel.

If these two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

But
2* -2=-4 which is not equal to -1.

Therefore the two lines are also not perpendicular.

The correct choice is C.
