Answer

The lines are perpendicular.

Work Step by Step

We know that the line $x=4$ is horizontal and is parallel to the y-axis. On the other hand, the line $y=-6$ is parallel to the x-axis. Then, taking the fact that the x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular to each other, we conclude that the lines are perpendicular.
