What does the math term perpendicular mean?
In geometric terms, one line is said to be perpendicular to another when their angle of intersection is 90°
What is a perpendicular line?
A perpendicular line is one which intersects another line at 90 degrees (or at right angles).
What does are the lines perpendicular at right angles mean?
Perpendicular lines are, by definition, lines which are at right angles to another line. In other words in a capital letter T the vertical line is perpendicular to the horizontal one because they are at right angles (90 degees) to one another.
Is a perpendicular line is one that intersects another to form a 90 degree angle?
Yes, perpendicular lines intersect at right angles which have 90 degrees.
What makes 2 equations perpendicular?
Technically, equations are never perpendicular to one another. However, the equations of lines can result in their lines being perpendicular. Using y=mx+b, to have a perpendicular line, you have the negative reciprocal of m.
