Parallel lines have the same slope, while perpendicular lines have an opposite reciprocal slope.

Line 1:

-5y = 3x + 7

y = -3/5x - 7/5

Line 2:

y = -5/3x + 8

Line 3:

6x - 10y = -4

-10y = -6x - 4

y = 3/5x + 2/5

Line 1 and Line 2 are neither perpendicular nor parallel. While their slopes are reciprocals of each other, the signs are not opposite (both are negative).

Line 1 and Line 3 are neither perpendicular nor parallel. While the slope itself is the same, the signs are different.

Line 2 and Line 3 are perpendicular. Their slopes are opposite reciprocals of each other.

Hope this helps!! :)
