Answer:

perpendicular

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

3x = y - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

3x + 5 = y ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

------------------------------------------------

9y + 4x = x - 9 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

9y = - 3x - 9 ( divide all terms by 9 )

y = -
(1)/(3) x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
(1)/(3)

-----------------------------------------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines = - 1

Thus

the slopes are not equal, thus not parallel lines.

3 × -
(1)/(3) = - 1 , hence lines are perpendicular
