If they are parallel:


m1=m2

Since the slope for y=-5x+8​ is m1=-5:


m2=-5

Let:

(x1,y1)=(0,2)

Using the point-slope equation:


\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-2=-5(x-0) \\ y-2=-5x \\ y=-5x+2 \end{gathered}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If is perpendicular to the line equation y=1/2x-3:


\begin{gathered} m1* m2=-1 \\ \text{Where:} \\ m1=(1)/(2) \\ (1)/(2)* m2=-1 \\ m2=-2 \end{gathered}

Let:

(x1,y1)=(-5,2)

Using the point-slope equation:


\begin{gathered} y-y1=m(x-x1) \\ y-2=-2(x-(-5)) \\ y-2=-2(x+5) \\ y-2=-2x-10 \\ y=-2x-8 \end{gathered}
