    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.
