Well first, you have to get both equations to the y= form
y=mx+b

X=-5-y add y to x

y+x=-5 then subtract x

y=-x-5 is your equation
_____________________

for the second one:

2+y=-x+3 subtract 2

y=-x+1 is your equation
__________________________
Take both equations and compare:

Both the slopes are the same of -x, so that means the will lines never touch (also because of different y intercept)

So, the answer is parallel.
