Two lines that are perpendicular to one another will meet at a 90 degree angle. If you are given the equation for each line (in the format y = mx + b), the value for m denotes the slope. Two lines are perpendicular if the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the other line.
For example, these two equations produce lines that are perpendicular:
y = 2/3 x +3
y = -3/2x +3
Take any two lines and look at their slopes. -- If the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. -- If the product of the slopes is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.
As far as we know, two lines can be perpendicular, or they can be parallel, but they can't be both.
These lines are perpendicular: _|
They look like two intersecting lines that make four right angles. Like the two lines in this L.
They are straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees

Perpendicular lines are lines that cross one another at a 90° angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of one another. Perpendicular lines intersect each other.
Perpendicular lines look like two straight lines that meet or intersect at a 90-degree angle. The capital letter T is an example of what they might look like.

Perpendicular is when two lines cross and form a right angle, which I hope you know what that is.
They are straight lines that intersect each other at 90 degrees
They are straight lines that intersect each other at right angles or 90 degrees.
Perpendicular lines are ones that make right angles when they meet. For instance the letters T H E and L are all made of perpendicular line segments.
A perpendicular line is two lines that look like a plus +. If they're not perpendicular, they don't cross with 90 degree angles.
