Answer:

C. The lines intersect but are not perpendicular.

Explanation:

The slopes (x-coefficients) of these lines are 3 and -4. They are different, but their product is not -1. Lines with different slopes are distinct lines that will intersect. If the product of their slopes is -1, they are perpendicular.

The lines intersect but are not perpendicular.
