Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes.
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
L₁ is y = 5x + 1 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5
L₂ is 2y - 10x + 3 = 0 ( subtract - 10x + 3 from both sides )
2y = 10x - 3 ( divide all terms by 2 )
y = 5x - ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 5
Since L₁ and L₂ have equal slopes then they are parallel lines
