Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and never intersect. Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.

The slope of a line can be found using the following formula:


\sf slope = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

In this case, x and y are both equal to 4, so the line is a vertical line.

Vertical lines do not have a slope, so they cannot be parallel or perpendicular to any other line.

Therefore, the answer is neither.
