Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes.

The slopes of these lines are: 3 and 1/3

They are not parallel because the slopes are different.

While 1/3 is the reciprocal of 3 it is not the opposite. Therefore the lines are not perpendicular

Answer:

Neither
