We need to check if y=8 and x = -1 are perpendicular or parallel.
The line y=8, is a straight line for which the y-values within it are equal to 8, therefore it is parallel to the x-axis.
The line x=-1, is a straight line for which all the values have the same value of x, which is -1, therefore it is parallel to the y-axis.
The lines are, therefore, perpendicular.
