For finding the graph of the pair of equations is parallel, perpendicular, or neither. we see the slope of the given equations

y=-4x+1, m(1)= -4

4y=x+3 by simplifying y= (x/4)+(¾) where m(2)= ¼

We know that the pair of equations is parallel when m(1)=m(2), and perpendicular when m(1)*m(2)=-1

So by the given equations, we have

(-4)*(¼)= -1

So given equations are perpendicular to each other options b are correct.
