Answer:

Neither parallel or perpendicular.

Explanation:

For AB A(-1,-4) and B(2, 11)

x1,y1 x2,y2

Gradient = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (11 - (-4))/(2 - (-1))

= 15/3 = 5.

For CD C(1 , 1) and D(4 , 10)

x1, y1 x2, y2

Gradient = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (10 - 1)/(4 - 1)

= 9/3 = 3

from the above they are neither parallel or perpendicular.
