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.
A line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation ( y = -3 ) is a vertical line. Since ( y = -3 ) is a horizontal line (constant y-value), any vertical line, such as ( x = k ) (where ( k ) is any real number), will intersect it at a right angle. Thus, the slopes of the two lines are negative reciprocals, confirming their perpendicularity.
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.
A cone has an infinite number of lines that can be drawn perpendicular to its surface. Specifically, any line drawn from the apex of the cone to a point on the circular base can be considered perpendicular to the radius at that point. Additionally, if you consider the vertical axis of the cone, any horizontal plane intersecting the cone's surface can also have multiple perpendicular lines.
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.

because the datum surface is perpendicular tothe direction of gravity at any point on it.but the horizontal surface is perpendicular to vertical at one point on it :D

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 ?
No, rise is the vertical change. Run is the horizontal change.
Well since the lines are parallel they would have the same slope. And the slope of any horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
The slope.
