46. Are the graphs of the equations below parallel, perpendicular or neither? y=2/5x+3 and y=3/5x-4 Explain.

I already know it's neither I just don't know how to explain.
y = m x + b
where m is the slope
the first m = 2/5
the second m = 3/5
Two different slopes.They will run into each other, not parallel
Now if perpendicular
m' = -1/m
does
3/5 = - 5/2
I think not.
