is a system of linear equations.
is the equation of a line, and
is the equation of another line.
Neither one of those lines is horizontal, because horizontal lines have equations that say

.
Neither one of those lines is vertical, because vertical lines have equations that say

The lines are slanted with some slope.
The slope of a line is how much the increases/rises for each unit gains/runs. It is a ratio.
A way of figuring the slope from the equation is to "solve for y".
--> --> -->
Each time increases by 1, increases by .
The slope of is
The equation looks complicated, but it could simplify to something like
, , and multiplying both sides times , the equation gets simplified.
--> --> -->
Solving for we can figure out the slope of that line
--> -->
The slope is .
If the two lines had the same slope, they would be parallel, or would be exactly the same line.
If they were the same line, all points in one line would also belong to the other line, and the coordinates of all the infinite points in the line would be solutions to the system.
If the lines were parallel, they would not intersect, and the system of equation would not have a solution.
These two lines intersect at some point, and the coordinates of that point are the solution of the system.
If the two lines were perpendicular, the product of their slopes would be .
so the lines are not perpendicular.
The answer is _ Not Parallel and Not Perpendicular.

--> --> -->
In this case twe two equations represent the same line.
Neither equation is , so neither line is horizontal.
Beyond that, I have no idea what answer your teacher expects.
Horror?
Would your teacher say that a line is parallel to itself?
I would say that (Not Parallel and Not Perpendicular) is correct, because I consider two lines that are the same line not to be parallel lines.

--> --> -->
The slope of that line is .
The slope of is .
They are not the same slope, so the lines are not parallel.
, so the lines are not perpendicular.
Neither equation is , so neither line is vertical.
I would again say that (Not Parallel and Not Perpendicular) is correct.
