Answer:

d∥e

Explanation:

The figure shows that line e is perpendicular to line b, and line d is perpendicular to line b.

Theorem: If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then the lines are parallel.

Since lines d and e are perpendicular to the same line, b, then lines d and e are parallel.

Answer: d∥e
