Define perpendicular lines and describe the type of angle formed by perpendicular lines or line segments?
The definition of perpendicular lines also defines the angles -- perpendicular lines are two lines (or line segments) that meet at a 90 degree angle.
Which term describes lines that intersect at a 90 degree angle?
It is a perpendicular line that intercepts another line at 90 degrees.
What is the gradient of a line perpendicular to y equals 4x -2?

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.
What dos perpendicular mean?
Two lines are said to be perpendicular when they are at right angles. That means that the angle between them is 90 degrees.There are other meanings of perpendicular; for example, a line is said to be perpendicular to a plane when it is perpendicular to EVERY line of the plane that goes through the intersection.
How many lines can be drawn perpendicular to a given like through a point not on the given line?
In Geometry
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 a perpendicular?
perpendicular is a line drawn at an angle 90 to other given line
Only 1 line can be drawn perpendicular to a given line at a given point?
Yes (in a Euclidean plane)..
Does every line have an infinite number of lines perpendicular to the given line?
Yes. There can be a line perpendicular to the given line at every point on it, and you know how many different points there are on it ...
What postulate or theorem guarantees that there is only one line that can be constructed perpendicular to a given line from a given point not on the line?
It's the theorem that says " One and only one perpendicular can be drawn from a point to a line. "
Is it possible to construct an infinite number of lines that are perpendicular to any given line?
Yes, but only in principle. In practice, you won't live long enough. Putting it in more positive terms: No matter how many lines have already been drawn perpendicular to a given line [segment], there's always enough room for a lot more of them.
What is a perpendicular with paralles lines?
If there are given two parallel line L1 and L2, and a third line L3 that is perpendicular to L1, then the line L3 must also be perpendicular to L2.
If two lines are perpendicular what is the respective slopes equal to?
Given any line L, with slope m, the perpendicular line has slope -m.
A line that is at a right angle to another line?
Perpendicular line.
How does vertical lines look?
A vertical line is drawn parallel to the Y-Axis. An example of an equation that is a vertical line is x = 3. In architecture, it is drawn perpendicular to the horizon line, regardless of the aspect ratio.
Can a perpendicular line be a intersecting line?
Yes. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but they have right angles.
