Answer:

They are neither parallel nor perpendicular, since slope are different and not related by any equation

Explanation:

First arrange them according to general equation:


y = mx + c

for the first equation :


5x + 6y = 18 \\ 6y = - 5x + 18 \\ { \boxed{y = - (5)/(6) x + 3}}

for the second equation :


18x - 15y = 36 \\ 15y = 18x - 36 \\ y = (18)/(15) x - (12)/(5)
