Step 1 :Rewrite the given equations in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):
Step 2 :\(y = \frac{5}{4}x - \frac{1}{4}\) for the first equation
Step 3 :\(y = \frac{5}{4}x + \frac{1}{8}\) for the second equation
Step 4 :Compare the slopes of both equations:
Step 5 :\(m_1 = \frac{5}{4}\) and \(m_2 = \frac{5}{4}\)
Step 6 :Since the slopes of both lines are equal, the lines are parallel.
Step 7 :\(\boxed{\text{C. Parallel}}\)
