Answer
Neither
Explanation:
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is equal to -1.
Additionally, in an equation with the form y = mx + b, the value of m is the slope.
Then, the slope of the first line is -7/8 and the slope of the second line is 7/8
Since -7/8 and 7/8 are distinct, these lines are not parallel.
On the other hand, the product of these slopes is equal to:
[tex]-\frac{7}{8}\times\frac{7}{8}=\frac{-49}{64}[/tex]Since -49/64 and -1 are distinct, these lines are not perpendicular
Therefore, the answer is neither.
