Answer:

They are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Note: For slopes to be parallel, they must be equal i.e if M1 denote the slope of the first line and M2 the slope of the second line , if they are parallel then M1 = M2 and if they are perpendicular M1 = -1/ M2

Answer:

Lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular

Explanation:

Two line are parallel when they have same slope.

Two lines are perpendicular when the product of slope of the two lines are (-).

ie. m₁ * m₂ = -1
