$x=-5$
$y = - 7$
parallel
perpendicular
neither

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze line $x = - 5$

The line $x=-5$ is a vertical line where for all values of $y$, $x$ is always $-5$.

Step2: Analyze line $y = - 7$

The line $y = - 7$ is a horizontal line where for all values of $x$, $y$ is always $-7$.

Step3: Determine the relationship

A vertical line and a horizontal line are perpendicular.

Answer:

perpendicular
