Answer:

Neither

Explanation:

First, you need to put your equations in y=mx+b form

Your first equation...

5x + 4y = 3

4y = 3-5x

y = -5/4x + 3/4

Your second equation...

5x-4y = -3

-4y = -5x -3

y = 5/4x + 3/4

The slopes aren't the same and are not reciprocals, so the answer would be neither.
