    (a) Orthogonal, (b) Neither, (c) Parallel, d (Orthogonal

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a and b are parallel is a=kb

    a and b if a dot b = 0

    (a) a dot b = (9) (-4) + 6 (6) = -36+36=0

    a and b are orthogonal

    (b) a dot b = 40-7-21=12

    a=kb - > there is no k value satisfying the equation

    a and b are neither parallel or orthogonal

    (c) a dot b = - 12-108-48=-168

    a=kb - > k=-3/4 satisfies the equation

    a and b are parallel

    (d) a dot b = 9-3-6=0

    a and b are orthogonal
