Lines are neither perpendicular nor parallel.

Explanation:

Step 1:

In equation 1, Y = 5X + 7

In equation 2, Y = -2X -5

Step 2:

Slope Intercept form Y =mX +c

Where m = Slope

Slope of line 1 = 5

Slope of line 2 = -2

m1 is not equal to m2. Hence it is not parallel.

m1 × m2 is not equal to -1. Hence they are not perpendicular.
