Answer :

Answer:

Parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

The product of the slopes of perpendicular lines equals - 1

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

Rearrange the 2 equations into this form and compare slopes

5y - x = 5 ( add x to both sides )

5y = x + 5 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

5y - x = - 5 ( add x to both sides )

5y = x - 5 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x - 1 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Since slopes are equal then the lines are parallel
