What does the math term perpendicular mean?
In geometric terms, one line is said to be perpendicular to another when their angle of intersection is 90°
What is a perpendicular line?
A perpendicular line is one which intersects another line at 90 degrees (or at right angles).
What does are the lines perpendicular at right angles mean?
Perpendicular lines are, by definition, lines which are at right angles to another line. In other words in a capital letter T the vertical line is perpendicular to the horizontal one because they are at right angles (90 degees) to one another.
Is a perpendicular line is one that intersects another to form a 90 degree angle?
Yes, perpendicular lines intersect at right angles which have 90 degrees.
What makes 2 equations perpendicular?
Technically, equations are never perpendicular to one another. However, the equations of lines can result in their lines being perpendicular. Using y=mx+b, to have a perpendicular line, you have the negative reciprocal of m.

What is the difference between a perpendicular line and a perpendicular bisector?
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?
since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.
What is the perpendicular postulate?
The perpendicular postulate states that if there is a line, as well as a point that is not on the line, then there is exactly one line through the point that is perpendicular to the given line.
How do you find a slope of a line perpendicular?
If two nonvertical lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slope is -1.An equivalent way of stating this relationship is to say that one line is perpendicular to another line if its slope is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other. For example, if a line has slope 3, any line having slope - 1/3 is perpendicular to it. Similarly, if a line has slope - 4/5, any line having the slope 5/4 is perpendicular to it.
Is a perpendicular line is one that intersects another to form a 90 degree angle?
Yes, perpendicular lines intersect at right angles which have 90 degrees.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with a slope of m is -1/m.

Technically, equations are never perpendicular to one another. However, the equations of lines can result in their lines being perpendicular. Using y=mx+b, to have a perpendicular line, you have the negative reciprocal of m.
What is one pair of perpendicular line segment?
Line segment
In every right angle one line segment is perpendicular to another is that true or false?
True. A right angle is 90o so the lines which form it must be mutually perpendicular.
