Yes, but only if they are exactly vertical and exactly horizontal (90 degrees angular difference).
For real-world examples, many vertical lines can be perpendicular to a single "horizontal" curved line at the points of intersection.

Any line that is not running exactly straight up and down is not vertical. Any line that is not running exactly flat, left to right is not horizontal. Vertical and horizontal lines are always at 90 degrees to each other.
Yes. By definition a square has four equal sides and four 90º angles, so any two adjacent sides are perpendicular.
I can't tell if you meant to say ' y5 ' or ' y = 5'.-- ' y5 ' is just a number. It can't be graphed, it doesn't represent a line, and the phrase"perpendicular to it" has no meaning.-- ' y = 5 ' is the equation of a horizontal line. Its slope is zero. Any vertical line,with the equation [ x = a number ] is perpendicular to it. The slope of a vertical lineis "undefined" if you want to be mathematically correct, or "infinity" if you don't care.
For any two perpendicular lines (save a vertical and a horizontal one), the product of their slopes is always -1. For two perpendicular lines with one having a slope of -2, the other will have a slope equal to -1 divided by -2, which equals 1/2.
That depends. How tough do you think it would be to draw a horizontal line or a slanting line on the wall ?
