Solution Steps

To determine the relationship between the lines, we need to find the slopes of the given equations. The general form of a linear equation is Ax+By=CAx + By = C. We can convert each equation to the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope. Once we have the slopes, we can compare them to determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

Step 1: Identify the Equations

We have the following equations:

  1. 5x2y=12 5x - 2y = 12
  2. 7y=14 7y = 14
Step 2: Solve for Slopes

To find the slopes, we will rearrange each equation into the slope-intercept form y=mx+b y = mx + b .

For the first equation: 5x2y=12    2y=5x+12    y=52x6 5x - 2y = 12 \implies -2y = -5x + 12 \implies y = \frac{5}{2}x - 6 Thus, the slope m1=52 m_1 = \frac{5}{2} .

For the second equation: 7y=14    y=2 7y = 14 \implies y = 2 This indicates that the slope m2=0 m_2 = 0 .

Step 3: Compare the Slopes

Now we compare the slopes:

  • m1=52 m_1 = \frac{5}{2}
  • m2=0 m_2 = 0

Since m1m2 m_1 \neq m_2 and m1 m_1 is not equal to 1×m2-1 \times m_2, the lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

Final Answer

The lines are neither parallel nor perpendicular, so the answer is \\(\boxed{\text{neither parallel nor perpendicular}}\\).
