What is the defintion for perpendicular line?

There's no such thing as one perpendicular line. "Perpendicular" tells the relationship between two lines, or between a line and a plane. Two lines are perpendicular if they form a 90-degree angle where they cross.


What is the difference between perpendicular lines and perpendicular line segments?

Lines have no end (stretch on forever) Line segments start and end.


Are intersecting lines perpendicular or not perpendicular?

Intersecting lines may or may not be perpendicular. If the angle of intersection between two intersecting lines is 90 degrees, then the two lines are perpendicular. Otherwise, the lines are not perpendicular. For example: A | | | B ----|----- | | Here, the lines A and B are intersecting. The angle between A and B is 90 degrees. Therefore, line A and line B are perpendicular to each other.


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).


What is the distance between 2 parallel lines measured along a perpendicular to the 2 lines?

The shortest distance between two paralle lines is the length of the line that is perpendicular to both line and intersects both.


How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular?

If the angle formed between the intersecting lines are 90o then the two lines are perpendicular. In 2D coordinate geometry, a perpendicular line has a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.


What are the difference between perpendicular lines and a perpendicular bisector?

A perpendicular bisector goes through the median of the line while a perpendicular line can be anywhere on the line as long as it is at a 90 degree angle.


A line that is at a right angle to another line?

Perpendicular line.


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 (=)


Can a perpendicular line be a intersecting line?

Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.


When is a line perpendicular to a plane?

A line is perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular on two lines from the plane


What is a perpendiccular line?

"Perpendicular" describes the relationship between two lines. A single line can't be 'perpendicular'.Two lines are perpendicular if1). they cross each other2). at the place where they cross, they form 90-degree angles
