Answer: The answer is neither because the slopes are 2/7 and 7/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

While these answers look like they are perpendicular, they are not since the signs are the same. If they were perpendicular the signs would be different. Ex: 2/7 and -7/2. These points are perpendicular since their signs changes as well as being "flipped".
