Answer:
perpendicular
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes
The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines = - 1
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 4x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 4
x - 4y = 8 ( subtract x from both sides )
- 4y = - x + 8 ( divide through by - 4 )
y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Since the slopes are not equal the lines are not parallel
- 4 × [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = - 1
Then the lines are perpendicular
