How two lines that are each perpendicular to a third line can be perpendicular to each other?

in 3d space. One line x=2. second line y=2. Third line z=2. They are all perp to one another.
=====================================
I have a set of lines like that in my bedroom, in the corner, where two walls meet the floor !
But, like, man, x=2, y=2, and z=2 aren't lines in 3d space, they're planes.

The second answer is correct. The equation of the x-axis is y = 0 and z = 0. The other axes can be defined similarly.
Alternatively, the equations can be defined in vecor form.

How many perpendicular lines in a oblong?
Each of the four lines is perpendicular - to two of the other lines.
Where does perpendicular lines intersect?
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles to each other.
Which pair of lines in the image is perpendicular?
The lines that meet at right angles are perpendicular to each other.
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.
What are lines at right angles to each other?
They are perpendicular lines
Two lines perpendicular to the same line are perpendicular to each other true or false?
TRUE:: The first two lines lie in the same plain, but are perpendicular to each other. The third line passes through the plane of the first two lines so it is also perpendicular. Think 3-dimension. !!!!!
Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.

How do you do perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles as for example the plus sign +
