1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine whether the given pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. The equations of the lines are 6x+7y=42-6x + 7y = 42 and 7y+6x=197y + 6x = 19.

2. Solution Steps

To determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, we need to find their slopes. We can rewrite each equation in slope-intercept form, y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope.
For the first equation, 6x+7y=42-6x + 7y = 42, we can solve for yy:
7y=6x+427y = 6x + 42
y=67x+6y = \frac{6}{7}x + 6
So the slope of the first line is m1=67m_1 = \frac{6}{7}.
For the second equation, 7y+6x=197y + 6x = 19, we can solve for yy:
7y=6x+197y = -6x + 19
y=67x+197y = -\frac{6}{7}x + \frac{19}{7}
So the slope of the second line is m2=67m_2 = -\frac{6}{7}.
Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal, i.e., m1=m2m_1 = m_2. In this case, 6767\frac{6}{7} \neq -\frac{6}{7}, so the lines are not parallel.
Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is 1-1, i.e., m1m2=1m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1. In this case, m1m2=(67)(67)=3649m_1 \cdot m_2 = (\frac{6}{7})(-\frac{6}{7}) = -\frac{36}{49}. Since 36491-\frac{36}{49} \neq -1, the lines are not perpendicular.
Therefore, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

3. Final Answer

Neither
