Best Answer

When lines cross at 90 degrees, they are perpendicular. Anything less than 90 degrees, or anything more than 90 degrees, is not perpendicular. An example of a perpendicular intersection would be a plus sign + . An example of a non-perpendicular intersection is the letter X . Hope this helps.

Can perpendicular lines intersect?

Yes, perpendicular lines do intersect at a single point. Think of the line representing the x-axis, and the line representing the y-axis. These two lines are perpendicular, and they intersect at the Origin (a single point).
