Best Answer

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.

How do you determine if 2 lines are parallel perpendicular or neither?

Two lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. If neither of these conditions are met, the lines are nether parallel, or perpendicular.


How do you use slope to determine a potato?

If two lines are perpendicular to eachother, they have right angles. The format for perpendicular lines is: x is perpendicular to -1/x. This is called the opposite reciprocal.


How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?

You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.


How can you determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular?

If the two lines are parallel, they will never connect. A straight line drawn across those lines will intersect them at identical angles. If you have perpendicular lines, they intersect and all four angles that they make are 90 degrees.

How many perpendicular lines are there in a diamond?

Diamonds come in all shapes and sizes, which determine the number of perpendicular lines (assuming you are referring to the edges as the lines) so there is no one number of lines or perpendicular lines on a diamond.
