You can find if lines are parallel or perpendicular by looking at the slope.

The slope is the number who is attached to x in each equation. If they are the same, then lines are parallel. If they are opposite and reciprocal, then they are perpendicular. If they are neither, than it is neither parallel or perpendicular.
