1. Y= 4X + 3
2. Y= -4X + 3
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
They are neither parallel or perpendicular.
--------
Your slopes are +4 and -4.
---------------------------
parallel requires that slope of 1= slope of other
--------------------------
perpendicular requires (slope of 1)*(slope of other) = -1
