Answer:

neither

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
(85)/(23) x - 99 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
(85)/(23)

Parallel lines have equal slopes

slope of line b =
(4)/(85)
(85)/(23) ← lines are not parallel

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is


m_(perpendicular) = -
(1)/(m) = -
(1)/((85)/(23) ) = -
(23)/(85)
(4)/(85) ← lines are not perpendicular

Thus lines a and b are neither parallel nor perpendicular
