y=3x would be a line and y=1/3-4 is a point(dot). I am thinking you wrote the second one down wrong though. I am not sure what exactly the y=1/3-4 is though. Is it supposeed to be y=x/3-4? If that is what it is then the two lines would be neither perpendicular or parallel to each other.

neither since slope of 3x is 3 and the slope of the y=1/3-4 is a 0 since it is horizontal line

I think you mean y=x/3-4 for the second equation. If you set up an excel spreadsheet you can create the following table.
y=3x
x y
-9.00-3.00
-6.00-2.00
-3.00-1.00
0.000.00
3.001.00
6.002.00
9.003.00
y=x/3-4
x y
-3.00-5.00
-2.00-4.67
-1.00-4.33
0.00-4.00
1.00-3.67
2.00-3.33
3.00-3.00
If you chart these values, you will find that the lines appear parallel.

you need to chart it to find out.
