When we have an equation of the form x = c, with c a constant number, then the graph of the line is a vertical line, parallel to the y-axis.

When we have an equation of the form y = k, with k a constant number, then the graph of the line is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis.

In this case, we have:

y = 5:

Is a line parallel to the x-axis.

x = 6:

Is a line parallel to the y-axis.

Since the two axes are perpendicular to each other, the lines must be perpendicular to each other.

Thus, the correct answer is perpendicular.
