Lines A and B are parallel. Lines A and B apre perpendicular to Line C.

Change all of the lines from standard form to slope-intercept.

Line A: y = 4/3x + 2/3
Line B: y = 4/3x + 2
Line C: y = -3/4x + 1

Since A and B have the same slope they are parallel. C has a negative reciprocal so it's perpendicular.

Check the picture below.

$\bf (\stackrel{a}{1}~,~\stackrel{b}{-1})\qquad \impliedby \textit{let's find the hypotenuse} \\\\\\ \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{1^2+(-1)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf sin(\theta ) \implies \cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{2}}}\implies \cfrac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})^2}\implies -\cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\bf cos(\theta ) \implies \cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{2}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{(\sqrt{2})^2}\implies \cfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\\\\\ tan(\theta ) = \cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-1}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{1}}\implies tan(\theta ) = -1$
