The only difference between perpendicular lines and intersecting lines is that perpendicular lines create a right angle at the point of intersection.

perpendicualr lines form 90 degree angles and intersecting lines just insersect. perpendicular: _ l _ intersecting: x l
a pair of intersecting lines that are 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.
perpendicular lines
Oh, dude, intersecting lines and perpendicular lines are like distant cousins at a family reunion. They both meet up at some point, but perpendicular lines are the ones standing straight and proper, while intersecting lines are just casually crossing paths like, "Hey, what's up?" So yeah, they both intersect, but perpendicular lines are the ones that are all about that right angle life.
