Answer:

The slope of line 1 is -4/3.

The slope of line 2 is 2/3.

Line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to line 2.

Explanation:

firstly we find slope using two point formula .

The lines are said to be parallel when their slopes are equal.The lines are said to be perpendicular when the product of their slope is -1. Hence, line 1 is neither parallel nor perpendicular to line 2.
