    Perpendicular to each other.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    slope of LM (m1)

    = (5-2) / [2 - (-2) ]

    =3/4

    slope of NP (m2)

    = (-2-2) / (3-0)

    =-4/3

    For LM and NP to be parallel, their slopes must be equal,

    But m1≠ m2

    For LM and NP to be perpendicular, their product of slopes must be equal to - 1,

    m1 * m2

    = (3/4) * (-4/3)

    = - 1
