Can you show me what perpendicular is?
Perpendicular means "at right angles to". L is an example of two lines that are perpendicular to one another.
What are perpendiculer lines?
Perpendicular lines are lines that eventually intersect, and intersecting means when the run into eachother. For example, the "L" shape are two perpendicular lines because the lines run into eachother.
If the lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals?
If you have two lines that have negative recipricals (1 and -1 for example), the lines are perpendicular.
Draw two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
How are perpendicular lines different from a intersecting lines?
They are not. The perpendicular bisectors of a triangle, for example, intersect at the orthocentre of the triangle. So perpendicular lines can be intersecting and conversely.

Are intersecting lines perpendicular or not perpendicular?
Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.

Example for perpendicular lines?
|_ example of a perpendicular line is shown above:
Draw two intersecting lines but not perpendicular?
draw two intersecting lines that are not perpendicular
What is Perpendicular and Parallel?
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
What makes two lines perpendicular?
Perpendicular lines are any two lines that intersect at a 90 degree angle.
Real life examples of perpendicular lines?
An example of a perpendicular line is a 4 way intersection at a stop sign. Another example would be a window that has 4 smaller squares in it.
Can two perpendicular lines intersect at one point?
Yes. For example, the coordinate axes.
How are perpendicular lines different from a intersecting lines?

What are parellel and perpendicular lines?
Parralell lines are lines that run together and will never meet. For example: __________ __________ Perpendicular lines are lines that run at a 90 degree angle to each other. For example: ____ | |
