Given the equations of the lines:
We will write both equations in slope-intercept form to find the slope of each line:
The equation of the first line:
so, the slope of the line (1) = 1/2
the equation of the second line:
so, the slope of the second line = 2
Comparing the slopes of the lines:
1) the slopes are not equal, so the lines are not parallel
2) the product of the slopes = 1/2 * 2 = 1
So, the lines are not perpendicular
so, the answer will be option B. neither
