Answer:

Line a and Line b are parallel. The slopes are equal

Line b is perpendicular to line c. The slopes are different

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation is y =- mx+C

m is the slope

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1

For Line a: 4x-3y = 2

Rewrite

-3y = -4x+2

y = 4/3 x - 2/3

Slope of line a is 4/3

Line b: y = 4/3x + 2

mx = 4/3x

m = 4/3

slope of line b is 4/3

Line c = 4y+3x = 4

4y = -3x + 4

y = -3/4 x + 1

Slope of line c is -4/3

Since line a and b have the same slope, they arer parallel

mb * mc = 4/3 * -3/4

mb*mc = -1

Since the product of slope of line b and c is -1, they are perpendiclar
