The lines are not the same as thehy have different slope and y-intercept.

As the slopes are different, they are not parallel.

If the slopes are negative reciprocals, the lines are perpendicular.

We can test it by:


m_2=-(1)/(m_1)=-(1)/((2)/(3))=-(3)/(2)

The slopes are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.

Answer: C. The lines are perpendicular.
