Neither parallel nor perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel, they share the same slope. If two lines have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each other, then they are perpendicular. If it is the same line, then the two equations must be the same when converted into the same form. If none of these apply, then the line is neither of any these.

1) First, convert each equation into y = mx + b format, or slope-intercept form, to easily identify their slopes. Isolate y in both equations.

First equation:  

Second equation:

2) In slope-intercept format, the coefficient of the x term, or m, represents the slope. Thus, the slope of the first equation is while the slope of the second equation is . The slopes are not the same, nor are they opposite reciprocals of each other. The equations are not the same either. Therefore, they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
