Find the slope of the line joining your two given points (you should know how to do that)
A line parallel will have the same slope
A line perpendicular will have a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the given slope
let me know what you get
A line parallel will have the same slope
A line perpendicular will have a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the given slope

Slope is 5
Parallel is 5 or 1/5
Perpendicular is -5
Parallel is 5 or 1/5
Perpendicular is -5

your slope of the given line is correct as 5
Then a parallel line also has a slope of 5
a perpendicular line will have slope of -1/5
your statement of
"Parallel is 5 or 1/5" is illogical.
same for " perpendicular is -5" , makes no sense to me.
Perpendicular is a property, -5 is a quantity
That is like saying " funny is -5"
