How do you calculate parallel and perpendicular lines in a given plane?

Take any two lines and look at their slopes.
-- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel.
-- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

Does a rectangle have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
perpendicular.
Does an equilateral have parallel lines or perpendicular lines?
PERPENDICULAR
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?
It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.
How do you calculate transversal lines?
Transversal lines are not parallel and so have a gradient that is different to that of the given lines.
Does perpendicular have parallel lines?
= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.
Line l is parallel to line m line l is perpendicular to line p what conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between lines m and p?
Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).
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.
Decide whether the lines given are parallel perpendicular or neither The line through 5 -9 and -8 5 are they parallel perpendicular or neither?
Parallel
Which shape has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines?
A rhombus has parallel lines but no perpendicular lines.
What shapes have perpendicular lines and no parallel lines?
Right triangles have a set of perpendicular lines and no parallel lines.
CAN Perpendicular lines can be parallel?
No, perpendicular lines intersect eachother at 90 degree angles. Parallel lines never intersect. So perpendicular lines will never be parallel.
Does a rectangle have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
perpendicular.
Does an equilateral have parallel lines or perpendicular lines?
PERPENDICULAR
Does a rhombus have perpendicular lines and parallel lines?
Perpendicular: No Parallel: Yes, two pairs.
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
How many parallel lines and perpendicular does a trazioud have?
A trapezoid has 2 parallel lines. It may or may not have perpendicular lines.
