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.

The first term in the sequence is 1, and each other term is 5 more than three times the previous term.

$a_1=1, a_n=a_{n-1}+5$ ( $n>1$ ).

Hope this helps.

Jace is a songwriter who collects royalties in his songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Jace will earn $50

Jace's song were played on 8 commercials and 2 movies

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

<em>Elimination Method</em>
<em>Substitution Method</em>
<em>Graph Method</em>

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

<em>Number of Commercials = C</em>

<em>Number of Movies = M</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jaces songs were played on 6 more commercials than movies.</em>

$\boxed{C = 6 + M}$ → <em>Equation 1</em>

$\texttt{ }$

<em>Jace will earn $50 every time one of his songs is played in a commercial and he will earn $140 every time one of his songs is played in a movie.</em>

<em>His total earnings in the royalties from all commercials and movies was $680.</em>

$\boxed{50C + 140M = 680}$ → <em>Equation 2</em>
