Show that the perpendicular let fall from any point of the straight line 2x plus 11y equals 5 upon the two straight lines 24x plus 7y equals 20 and 4x -3y equals 2 are equal to each other?

I assume you mean that the verticle line segments drawn from the first line to each of the other two lines have equal lengths. This cannot be shown because it is not true.

Is y equals 3x plus 1 and y equals 3x - 7 perpendicular?
No. they are parallel, since the slopes are both equal in this case 3. To be perpendicular the product of the slopes of both lines is equal to -1 (i.e., m1*m2 = -1).
Do a square has only one of perpendicular?
It has 4 perpendicular lines, or 4 equal sides. However, not all lines are perfectly equal!
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
Can a circle have perpendicular lines in it?
just my opinion YES. many of them in fact. a line is not necessarily straight. all aroung the circle is an equal and opposite perpendicular curved line. IMO only
Perpendicular lines form four straight angles?
False
True or false Perpendicular lines form straight angles?
What is a 'Straight Angle'???? Perpendicular lines meet at 90 degrees ( right- angles).
Is y equals 3x plus 1 and y equals 3x - 7 perpendicular?
No. they are parallel, since the slopes are both equal in this case 3. To be perpendicular the product of the slopes of both lines is equal to -1 (i.e., m1*m2 = -1).
Are the perpendicular line segments of a letter the straight lines?
Not necessarily. The horizontal and diagonal lines are also straight lines.
What do you call straight lines that intersect each other?
Perpendicular lines.
When is the product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines not equal to -1?
When the perpendicular lines are horizontal and vertical.
Do a square has only one of perpendicular?
It has 4 perpendicular lines, or 4 equal sides. However, not all lines are perfectly equal!
Two lines meet at right angles are?
Two straight lines that meet at right angles are perpendicular.
What are 3 kinds of straight line?
Perpendicular lines Parallel lines Diagonal lines
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.

If the product of the slopes of two lines equals negative 1 then the lines?
Are perpendicular.
How many perpendicular lines does a circle have?
A circles has no perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are two straight lines that join forming 90 degree angles. They are found in squares, rectangles, and right-angled triangles. A circle is made by one line that is not straight but is curved. If you drew a circle, rectangle, right-angled triangle, or cross in the circle, then the circle would contain perpendicular lines. But the circle itself would have no perpendicular lines.
