The general form of an equation for a line is
aX + bY = c.
Since perpendicular lines have different slopes and different x and y intercepts the parameters a, b, and c are different for perpendicular lines

How is parallel and perpendicular lines the same?
They are not.
How is it determined whether the lines passing through some specified points are parallel perpendicular or neither?
The straight line equation is y = mx + b. If they do not cross and have the same slope they are parallel; if they cross and the slope (m) of one of them is the negative inverse slope of the other (-1/m) they are perpendicular. Otherwise they are neither
What is the difference formula for parallel and perpendicular lines?
parellel lines mean they are to lines the same
Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?
No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.
How do you write the equation for a perpendicular line?
Take the negative reciprocal of the lines slope you want it to be perpendicular to. For example y = 3x +2; perpendicular line slope is -1/3.
How are intersecting lines alike to perpendicular lines?
intersecting lines are alike because perpendicular lines have to intersect to be perpendicular. 2: They are the same because they touch another line so they are the same.
How is parallel and perpendicular lines the same?
They are not.
Can two lines be parellel perpendicular and intersecting at the same time?
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.
Are any two pairs of perpendicular lines coplanar?
Two lines that are perpendicular to the same plane are coplanar. This means that they lay on the same plane.
Do Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes?
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
How is it determined whether the lines passing through some specified points are parallel perpendicular or neither?
The straight line equation is y = mx + b. If they do not cross and have the same slope they are parallel; if they cross and the slope (m) of one of them is the negative inverse slope of the other (-1/m) they are perpendicular. Otherwise they are neither
If two lines are perpendicular do the have the same slope?
No but if the two lines are parallel then they will have the same slope.
Two lines perpendicular to the same line are perpendicular to each other true or false?
TRUE:: The first two lines lie in the same plain, but are perpendicular to each other. The third line passes through the plane of the first two lines so it is also perpendicular. Think 3-dimension. !!!!!
What is the difference formula for parallel and perpendicular lines?
parellel lines mean they are to lines the same
Does perpendicular lines have the same slope?
No, lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel to each other.
Can two lines be parallel and perpendicular at the same time?
no, because parallel is opposite to perpendicular
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.
