Honey, those two lines are perpendicular. How do I know? Well, if the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other, they're like two peas in a pod - perpendicular! So, in this case, the slope of the first line is 5, and the slope of the second line is -1/5. Case closed!

In the absence of equality signs it's difficult to say but in general if the slope remains the same and the y intercept differs then they are parallel
5x-4y=8
If you mean: y=-5x+10 and the point (3, 10) then the parallel equation is y=-5x+25
The slope is 5. Parallel lines always have the same slope.
The equations will have the same slope as y = 5x+9 but a different y intercept
Convert the equation 2y = 5x - 4 into standard form then y = 2.5x - 2. Two straight lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1. Let the equation of the perpendicular line by y = mx + b. Then, 2.5m = -1 : m = -1/2.5 The y intercept occurs when x = 0. Then -3 = 0 + bc : b = -3 The equation of the perpendicular line is y = -1/2.5x -3 or 5y = -2x -15
