Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

Note that none of the slopes are equal, so the either are perpendicular or neither.

Note that the product of the slope of line 1 and line 3 is


3\cdot(-1)/(3)=-1

So, line 1 and line 3 are perpendicular.

For the other cases, it can easily be seen that their are not perpendicular, neither parallel.
