Answer

parallel: $y = 6x$ and $y = 6x-2$ perpendicular: $ y = -1/6*x$ with $ y = 6x$ and $ y = -1/6*x$ with $ y = 6x-2$

Work Step by Step

$ y = -1/6*x$ has $m = -1/6$ $y = 6x$ has $m = 6$ $y = 6x-2$ has $m = 6$ If two slopes are the same, then they are parallel. If the product of two slopes is -1, then those two lines are perpendicular. $-1/6 * 6 = -1$, so there are two pairs of perpendicular lines. Those pairs are $ y = -1/6*x$ with $ y = 6x$ and $ y = -1/6*x$ with $ y = 6x-2$.
