I don't have the lines in your question — could you paste them or tell me the act/scene?

If you want to decide on your own: identify who Macbeth is speaking to and whether he uses facts/reasoning (a logical, logos appeal) or feelings/hopes (an emotional, pathos appeal). For example:
- If the lines are Macbeth reacting to Ross and Angus telling him he's Thane of Cawdor and he argues why he deserves it with evidence of his deeds, that's a logical appeal to Ross and Angus.
- If the lines are Macbeth expressing his hopes or amazement about being king or musing about fate (e.g., “If chance will have me king…”), that's an emotional appeal (to himself or to Banquo if he's speaking to him).
