Answer:

parallel

Explanation:

You want to know the parallel/perpendicular status of the lines described by the equations ...

  • 2x -5y = 25
  • y = 2/5x +3

Parallel lines

Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is written in the form ...

y = mx +b

as is the second equation.

The first equation can be put in that form by solving for y.

2x -5y = 25 . . . . . . given equation

2x -25 = 5y . . . . . . add 5y -25

2/5x -5 = y . . . . . . divide by 5

The coefficient of x (slope) is 2/5, same as the second equation.

The lines are parallel.

Additional comment

Your graphing calculator can help you figure this out, too. The graphed lines are parallel.
