Answer:

Parallel

Explanation:

First, you should put the second equation in slope-intercept form, it would be y=3x+8.

If two lines are parallel they will have the same slope. If two lines are perpendicular the slopes will be the negative reciprocals of each other. The slopes of these two lines are the same so they are parallel.
