The equation of the line L1 is: y = 5x-4. The equation for line L2 is 2y-10x+16 = 0. Show that these two lines are parallel.

L1: y=5x-4L2: 2y-10x+16=0. Rearranged: 2y=10x-16, y=5x-8 The coefficient of x is the same in both equations when expressed in standard format (5), therefore the lines are parallel.
