Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to transform one of the equations into its slope-intercept form:
y + 2/5x = 8
Subtract 2/5x from both sides:
y = -2/5x + 8
y = -5/2x - 7
Graphing both lines, they do intersect at point (-7.14, 10.86), but they are not parallel, nor are they perpendicular from each other. By definition, perpendicular lines must appear to be perpendicular (that is, they intersect at a 90° angle).
Looking at the attached graph (where the purple line is y = -2/5x + 8), their lines do not form a 90° angle.
Therefore, the correct answer is neither.
