Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

Perpendicular: Slope = -1/x

Parallel: Slope = x

Perpendicular slope is negative reciprocal of original slope. Parallel slope is equal to original slope.

Make these lines into slope-intercept form.

1)

2x+3y=1

3y=-2x+1

y=-2/3x+1/3

Slope: -2/3

2)

3x=3

x=1

Slope = undefined

Undefined ≠ -2/3
