You have the following equations:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=5x \\ 5x+y=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

In order to determine if the given lines are parallel, pependicular or neither, first write the second equation in the slope y-intercept form, just as follow:

[tex]y=-5x+4[/tex]

the coefficient of the term with variable x is the slope of the line. Thus, you have that the first line has a slope of m1=5 and the second line a slope of m2=-5

If the quotient between the slope of the lines is equal to -1, it means that the lines are perpendicular. You have:

[tex]\frac{m_1}{m_2}=-1[/tex]

Hence, the lines are perpendicular
