Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

step 1

Verify if the lines are parallel

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

In this problem the slope of f(x) =2/7 and the slope of g(x)=7/2

Compare

2/7≠7/2

therefore

The lines are not parallel lines

step 2

Verify if the lines are perpendicular

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to -1

In this problem the slope of f(x) =2/7 and the slope of g(x)=7/2

Multiply

2/7*7/2=1

1≠-1

therefore

The lines are not perpendicular
