Find the slope of each line.
----
If they're equal, they're parallel or coincident (same line).
It the product of the 2 slopes = -1, they're perpendicular.
o/w, neither.

.
The slopes are 2 for the first line and 1%2F2 for the second line.


The slopes are NEITHER equal NOR opposite to reciprocal.


So, the lines are NEITHER parallel NOR perpendicular.
