Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for lines to be perpendicular, their slopes must be opposite reciprocals.

[tex]y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x+4\qquad \rightarrow \quad m=-\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{2}x-3\qquad \rightarrow \quad m=\dfrac{5}{2}[/tex]

Their slopes are opposites (opposite signs). [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

Their slopes are NOT reciprocals (fractions flipped) [tex]X[/tex]
