Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

First, arrange the equations to fit the y=mx + b format

1. 2x - 3y = 8

y = -2/3x - 8/3

2. -x + 4y = 2

y = 1/4x + 1/2

Equations that are parallel have the same slope.

In perpendicular equations, one slope would be x and the other would be -1/x (negative reciprocal)

The equations are neither parallel nor perpendicular, so neither.
