Answer:

Parallel lines are equally spaced out in the same direction so it would be p,q, and r, Purpendicular Lines intersect at a 90 degee angle so it would be q and a, q and b, r and b, and r, and so on

Answer:

Parallel: a and b, p and q, p and r, q and r

PErpendicular: p&a, p&b, q&a, q&b, r&a, r&b

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope so both of the lines would be going in the same direction and will never cross each other.

Perpendicular lines cross at a 90 degree angle.

Technically you do not know if q&a and q&b are perpendicular because you do not know if there is a 90 degree angle
