A line with slope m and y-intercept b has the following slope-intercept form equation:
If two lines have the same slope, they are parallel. If they have slopes that are the negative reciprocal of each other, then they are perpendicular.
If none of the above cases happen, then they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
The line y = (1/3)x - 1 has slope 1/3.
The line y = 3x has slope 3.
As we see, the slopes are different, so the lines are not parallel. Also, the negative reciprocal of 3 is -1/3, not 1/3.
Therefore, the given lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
