[tex]Answer:\boxed{C-The\ lines\ intersect\ but\ are\ not\ perpendicular.}[/tex]
First, you want to find out what the slope and the y-intercept is, you must put both equations in y=mx+b from.

6x − 14y = −28                    :First, subtract the 6x over to the right
-6x                   -6x

(-14y = -6x - 28) ÷ -14         :Then, divide the whole equation by -14

y = 6/14x + 2                        :Now, reduce the fraction, divide both the top and the                                                 bottom by 2

y = 3/7x + 2

3y − 7x = −14                      :First, add the 7x over to the right side
      +7x          +7x

(3y = 7x - 14) ÷ 3                 :Next, divide the whole equation by 3

y = 7/3x - 14/3


y = 3/7x + 2             slope: 3/7     y-int.: 2

y = 7/3x - 14/3         slope: 7/3     y-int.: -14/3 or -4 7/10 or -4.7

C.  Your answer is C.  They will eventually intersect, but not at a right angle.
