B. perpendicular
C. neither

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rearranging both into a standard format of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  The value of the slopes will tell us whether they are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Equation 1: 5 + 10x = 8y

8y = 5 + 10x

y = (5/4)x + (5/8)

Equation 2: 8x + 10y = -7

8x + 10y = -7

y = - (4/5)x - (7/10)

The slope in Eq. 2 is the negative inverse of the slope in Eq. 1.  These lines are perpendicular.
