Question

HELPPPPP EMERGENCY. CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM

Answer 1

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
