How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
How many perpendicular lines in a oblong?
Each of the four lines is perpendicular - to two of the other lines.
For perpendicular lines if the slope of one line is -2 what is the slope of the line perpendicular to it?
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.
Where does perpendicular lines intersect?
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles to each other.
Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?
It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.

Can perpendicular lines also be parallel lines?
Perpendicular lines can not be parallel to each other but they can be to other lines.

What is true about perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines meet(Intersect) at 90 degrees.
Meaning of perpendicular lines?
Lines that intersect each other at right angles are called perpendicular lines

What are the meanings and drawings of perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines intersect each other at 90 degrees
Which pair of lines in the image is perpendicular?
The lines that meet at right angles are perpendicular to each other.
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.
How do you do perpendicular lines?
Perpendicular lines meet each other at right angles as for example the plus sign +
