Lines are neither parallel nor they are perpendicular to each other.

Explanation:

Converting 3y-4x=5 to slope intercept form we get y=4/3x+5/3, hence its slope is 4/3.

Now converting 4y+6=3x to slope intercept form we get y=3/4x-6/4, hence its slope is 3/4.

While slope of parallel lines is always equal, product of slopes of perpendicular lines is -1. As neither slopes are equal nor their product is -1, lines are neither parallel nor they are perpendicular to each other.
