For line 1 =

The coordinates given are (-8,-55) , (10,89)

The slope of the line is


m=(89+55)/(10+8)=(144)/(18)=8

For line 2 =

The coordinates given are (9,-44) , (4,-14)

The slope of the line is


m=(-14+44)/(4-9)=(30)/(-5)=-6

The lines are not perpendicular or parallel because the slope of the lines does not satisfy the condition of perpendicular or parallel slopes.

Hence the answer is neither.
