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

Mathematics

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.

Hello!

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this 

a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

c is the hypotenuse which is the side across the right angle
a and b are the other sides

Put in the values you know

9^{2} + 12^{2} = c^{2}

Square the numbers

81 + 144 =  c^{2}

Add

225 =  c^{2}

Take the square root of both sides

15 = c

The answer is 15

Hope this helps!

What's the following rotational symmetries of oranges regular hexagon​
Semmy [17]

Answer:

rotational symmetry of 60 degrees around the origin - yes

rotational symmetry of 120 degrees around the origin - yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular hexagon has 6 congruent angles

the the angles created on the line of symmetry are equal to 60 so the angle of rotational symmetry is 60 degrees.

The regular hexagon, like stated before, has 6 congruent angles so the order of symmetry is 6

Here is a visual from basic-matematics

How many solutions are there to the system of equations graphed below if the lines are parallel?
damaskus [11]
Zero
C is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given graph, the given lines are parallel to each other and hence never intersect.
Now, we know that the intersection point (s) of two curves gives us the solution.
Here the lines are parallel to each other and hence do not intersect each other.
Thus, there would not be any intersection point.
Hence, the system of equations has no solution.
C is the correct option.

Hope this helps
