Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = -x - 4, the gradient is -1.

While in the second equation,

5x + 5y = 20

y = -x + 4

So the gradient is -1 too

Both sides are not perpendicular to each other because if you apply the formula, m1m2 = -1, and if substitute both gradient, (-1)(-1) = 1 ≠ -1

Therefore, no they are not perpendicular but parallel instead.
