perpendicular lines are lines that MEET at right angles (90 degrees). Skew lines are lines that dont meet at all. Even though the gradients of two skew lines can multiply to be -1 (a property of perpendicular lines) They will not really be perpendicular as they don't accually meet. This can occur when the lines are in different planes.
No. If the lines are parallel they will never meet or intersect at any point. If the lines are perpendicular they do intersect, but perpendicular lines are a special case of intersecting lines. Perpendicular lines are exactly 90 degrees from each other. Intersecting lines do not haveto be perpendicular... but perpendicular lines are always intersecting.

Yes perpendicular lines meet at right angles of 90 degrees
Perpendicular is when two lines cross... Parallel is when two lines never meet.... _____________ _____________ = PARALLEL LINES If they cross they are perpendicular, if they don't, they are parallel.
Two straight lines that meet at right angles are perpendicular.
Two lines that meet at a right angle are called perpendicular.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called normal.Two lines that meet at a right angle are also called orthogonal.
No - perpendicular lines meet at right angles.

yes but they have to meet at a 90 degree angle to be perpendicular.

Perpendicular lines
By definition, perpendicular lines are those which meet in a right angle. So, yes, they have to meet in order to be "perpendicular". Parallel lines may, or may not, meet, depending on how you choose your axioms. In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never meet. In certain types of non-Euclidean geometry, they can meet.

The lines that meet at right angles are perpendicular to each other.
