On a graph, parallel equations will run forever and never touch, whereas, perpendicular equations will make a right angle with each other.
In an equation, parallel lines will have the same slope (the mx part of the equation).
Ex:
y = (1/3)x + 2
y = (1/3)x + 4
Perpendicular equations have negative reciprocal slopes of each other.
Ex:
y = (3/5)x + 6
y = -(5/3)x + 4

Why is it important to know the difference between parallel vs perpendicular?
perpendicular cross parallel do not
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
What is the difference between a perpendicular and parallel line?
A perpendicular line is a line that creates two 90 degree angles at the line, segment, etc. that it intersects. Parallel lines are two lines that never intersect. Perpendicular lines cross at right angles (+) Parallel lines will never meet, no matter how far they are extended (=)
How do parallel and perpendicular slopes compare or their y intercept?
There is no relationship between the slopes of parallel or perpendicular lines and their y-intercepts.
Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them

What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular line on rectangle?
The difference between a perpendicular line and a parallel line is that a perpendicular line crosses or joins, while a parallel line doesn't touch at all.

What is difference between longitudinal and transverse waves?
The vibration of the Longitudinal wave is parallel to the wave direction and the vibration is perpendicular to the direction in the transverse wave.
Does perpendicular lines have a constant distance between them?
No but parallel lines have a constant distance between them
What is the difference between parallel lines and perpendicular lines?
Parallel lines never touch each other, they run side by side, like railroad tracks, or this equal sign = Perpendicular lines cross each other at 90 degrees, so it looks like a t or a plus sign, +
What is the relation between two lines perpendicular to the same line?
They're parallel.
What is the difference between inequalities and equations using adding?
equations have an = sign, inequalities do not
What is the difference between algebra equations and expressions?
expressions don't have an equal sign and equations do
Line l is parallel to line m line l is perpendicular to line p what conclusions can be drawn about the relationship between lines m and p?
Lines are parallel if they are perpendicular to the same line. Since the lines m and l are parallel (given), and the line l is perpendicular to the line p (given), then the lines m and p are perpendicular (the conclusion).
