    When the slopes are equal, the two lines are parallel.

    When the product of two slopes is - 1, then the two lines are perpendicular.

    So, y - 4 = 3x + 6;

    Then, y = 3x + 10; the slope of the first line is 3;

    2x + 6y = 10;

    Then, 6y = - 2x + 10;

    y = (-2/6) x + 10/6;

    Finally, y = (-1/3) x + 5/3; the slope if the second line is - 1/3;

    Because 3 * (-1/3) = - 1 the two lines are perpendicular.
