Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
These lines are perpendicular: _|

They look like two intersecting lines that make four right angles. Like the two lines in this L.

It looks like a ladder with only one step, a railroad track with only one tie, or the upper-case letter ' H '.

Perpendicular lines are two lines that intersect at a 90-degree angle, forming a right angle where they meet. In geometric terms, the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other. Visually, perpendicular lines appear to be at right angles to each other, creating a distinct "L" shape where they intersect.

kinda like this.... / \ / \ the lines on the top and bottom are parallel kinda like this.... / \ / \ the lines on the top and bottom are parallel
Perpendicular is when two lines cross and form a right angle, which I hope you know what that is.
What must be true? In your example, we have 4 intersecting lines. g and b are parallel, and f and h are parallel. g and b are perpendicular to f and h. It might look like tic-tac toe for example
Just like this: ___________________ ____________________ parallel means they never intersect (touch)
They are straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees
