Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

Rearrange 8x+2y=-6 to y-intercept form

2y = -8x - 6

y = -4x - 3

y=4x-1 has a slope of 4.

A line perpendicular to this would have the slope -1/4.

A line parallel to this woud have the same slope, 4.

8x+2y=-6 has a slope of -4.

Therefore, 8x+2y=-6 is neither perpendicular nor parallel to y=4x-1.
