Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

We know that two non-vertical lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is $-1$. We know that two non-vertical lines are parallel if their slopes are equal. Hence here $5\cdot \frac{1}{5}=1\ne-1.$ Thus they are not perpendicular. Their slopes are not equal, thus they are not perpendicular.
