Is this equation 9x plus 3y equals 12 and 12x plus 4y equals 18 parallel?

Yes the equation is parallel and this is why....
when you put the formula 9x+3y=12 in a slope intercept form you'll get
9x+3y=12
9x+3y-12=0
3y= -9x+12
divide by 3
y=-3x+4
12x+4y=18
12x+4y-18=0
4y= -12x+18
divide by 4
y= -3x + 9/2
In order for two equations to be parallel the slope must be equal to each other remember the slop is the m in y=mx+b.
Since both equations have -3 as it's slope that makes them parallel lines.

Are 5x plus 3y equals 3 and -12x plus 20y equals 0 parallel or perpendicular?
Work it out. 5x+3y=3 3y=-5x+3 y=-5/3x+1 -5/3=the slope in this equation -12x+20y=0 20y=12x y=12/20x y=3/5x 3/5=the slope in this equation If the slopes equal each other, the lines are parallel. If they are the negative reciprocal (the fraction flipped upside down and multiplied by -1) of each other, they are perpendicular. I can't believe I just helped someone this lazy.
