Those lines are an algebraic operator that marks an absolute value. If the value surrounded by the lines is negative, it becomes positive. If it's positive, it remains so. For example:
|-9| = 9
|9| = 9
|5 - 7| = 2
|7 - 5| = 2
If f(x) = |x2 - 5|, then f(x) describes a parabolic curve for which the values in the range -5 ≤ x ≤ 5 are positive rather than the expected negative. It would look vaguely similar to a calligraphic letter "w", with the bottom two points being on the x axis.

What does 'perpedicular' mean?
Perpendicular refers to two lines or surfaces that intersect at a 90-degree angle, forming a right angle. It is a geometrical term used to describe a relationship between two objects that are perpendicular to each other.

What does two vertical on the outside of a number mean?
it means to take the absolute value of the number, which means the number's distance away from zero. So negative 4 with the two vertical lines equals 4. it is 4 away from 0

What is the mean of graphical solution of two straight lines?
The graphical solution of two straight lines, if it exists, is a single point. If such a point exists, its mean will be itself.
