In a graph, you first must find the slopes of both lines using the rise over run method or by using the x2-x1 over y2-y1 method known as slope formula. The lines will be perpendicular if the slope of one line is opposite reciprocal of the other. the opposite reciprocal of 1/2 is -2

What is an example of something perpendicular?
The sides on a ladder are perpindicular from each other.
What does a polygon with 1 pair of perpendicular side look like?
it's a something
How can you tell which lines are perpendicular?
That the slopes of the lines are the opposite of each other and negative. Ex: y=2/3x+b then the line perpendicular to it is y=-3/2+b
How can we tell if two lines are parallel perpendicular or neither just from their equations?
If the slope of the equations are the same then they are parallel If the slope of the equations are minus reciprocal then they are perpendicular If the slope of the equations are different then they are neither
Can two intersecting diagonal lines be perpendicular?
Obviously it can.The type of lines that are perpendicular but do not intersect are known as 'Skew' lines. These can be better understood by using vectors in three-dimensional.I have reason to think that you yourself, do not know what your asking for and therefore I must tell you this. 90degrees= perpendicular.
