the equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope

For the first equation,

2y = 3x - 5

y = 3x/2 - 5/2

Slope = 3/2

For the second equation,

8 - y = - 3c

y = 3x + 8

Slope = 3

We can see that the slopes are not equal. Thus, they are not parallel
