Those pair are all in standard form, Ax+By=C for which the slope is -A%2FB. Equal slopes means parallel; slopes being negative reciprocals means perpendicular. If neither, then "neither".

Determine whether each pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. 

a. 6x=5y+1 and -12x+10y=1     - These two straight lines are parallel.

b. 6+4x=3y and 3x+4y=8        - These two straight lines are perpendicular.
