Not necessarily - it depends on the geometry. The equator, on a sphere like the earth, is a straight line on a spherical surface. It has no endpoint.


How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular?

If the angle formed between the intersecting lines are 90o then the two lines are perpendicular. In 2D coordinate geometry, a perpendicular line has a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.
