How are perpendicular lines and intersecting lines are different?

Perpendicular lines are a specific kind of intersecting lines. Intersecting lines are any two lines that cross through each other. Depending on how they cross each other, they may make angles from 170 degrees to 1 degree. Perpendicular lines are specifically two straight lines that cross each other at right angles, so that they create angles that are 90 degrees.

Is it true that two lines with different slopes are perpendicular?

No. Only lines that intersect at 90 degree angles are perpendicular. Any other lines that cross each other are simply intersecting lines.
