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.

Malik stops at the grocery store to buy a bag of diapers and 2 cans of formula. He spends a total of $37. The next week he stops
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Diapers costs $11 and formula is $13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's name diapers as A and formula as B.

Simply the equations:

1A + 2B = $37(1)

2A + 5B = $87(2)

Clear D from one equation.

A = $37 - 2B(1)

Replace D into the other equation.

2*($37 - 2B) + 5B = $87(2)

$74 - 4B + 5B = $87

$74 + B = $87

B = $87 - $74 = $13

Find A, now knowing B.

A = $37 - 2($13)

A = $37 - $26 = $11

Answer:

Equation: y = \frac{7}{4} x

21/2 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 7 as y and 4 as x

7 = 4k

Find k

k = 7/4

Then plug k into th equation

y = 7/4 x

For the second part of the question:

Plug in x which is 6 into the bolded equation.

y = (7/4)(6) = 42/4 = 21/2 (simplified form)
