Hi,

Solving each line for y and checking out the slope according to the general

slope-intercept format for a line y = mx + b where m is the slope

3x-5y=3

3/5x - 3/5 = y        slope of this line = (3/5)



-5x+3y=8

y = 5/3x + 8/3       slope of this line = 5/3

Neither parallel or perpendicular
