Why it is not possible for two lines to be parallel and perpendicular?

Parallel lines have the same slope. for example, the two lines y = 6x + 3 and
y = 6x - 5 are parallel because they have the same slope, 6x.

the slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals, which means that you would flip the numbers of the fraction and make it negative. for example, the opposite reciprocal of -3x is 1/3x.

also, parallel lines never intersect, whereas perpendicular lines intersect at a 90 degree angle.

therefore, it isnt possible for two lines to be both parallel and perpendicular.

What is the answer to 1/2-1/5
Scorpion4ik [409]
First you need to find the common denominator. Think of a number that both 2 and 5 can go in to evenly. 10 is the best number, so, make both denominators 10. What you do to the bottom, you must do to the top.
Now your equation is 5/10-2/10
Your answer is 3/10

LOTS OF POINTS!!! HELP WITH 7 ANd EXPLAIN!!

Answer:

w=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is SA= 2lw+2lh+2hw

We are trying to find out the width if the SA is 240 square inches, length is 12 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Let's plug these numbers into the equation.

240=(2*12*w)+(2*12*5)+(2*5*w)

          24w+120+10w

240= 34w+120

-120           -120

120= 34w

120/34 = 34w/34

w is approximately equal to 3.5 which can be rounded to 4

w=4

Hope this is right! It was confusing at first but I understood it!
