Answer:

Orthogonal

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a=<9,6>

b=<-4,6>

When two vectors are orthogonal then

[tex]a\cdot b=0[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]<9,6>\cdot <-4,6>[/tex]

[tex]-36+36=0[/tex]

Hence, vectors a and b are orthogonal.

When two vectors are parallel then

[tex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{c_1}{c_2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{9}{-4}=-\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{b_1}{b_2}=\frac{6}{6}=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}\neq \frac{b_1}{b_2}[/tex]

Hence, vectors are not parallel.
