Answer: NEITHER

Step-by-step explanation:

From the equation of lines given above, to know if relationships exist between the two lines, we must first determine that from their gradients or slopes.

From first equation

2x - y = 5,

y = 2x - 5

Therefore, m₁ = 2

From the second equation

3x - y = 5

y = 3x - 5

Therefore m₂ = 3

Recall, For the two lines to be parallel, m₁ = m₂ , and for the two line to be perpendicular, m₁m₂ = -1

since none fulfilled the conditions stated above, the answer then is

NEITHER
