Answer:

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

Parallel:
y=-(8)/(5) x+RandomNumberNot4

Explanation:

I'm going to rewrite the equation:

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

Perpendicular means that the slope is the opposite reciprocal.

Slope =
(5)/(8)

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

Parallel means that the slope is the same but the y - intercept is different:

y=-(8)/(5) x+RandomNumberNot4
