Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, the two lines are parallel.

Lines are parallel if they have the same slope. The slope of a line can be found by rearranging the equation into the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope.

For line L: y = 5x + 1, so the slope is 5.

For line L^2: 2y - 10x + 3 = 0, rearrange to get y = -5x + (3/2). The slope of the line is -5.

Since the two lines have the same slope (both 5), they are parallel.
