Will perpendicular lines ever cross on the same plane?

If two lines are perpendicular, they intersect at a right angle. So yes, they will always cross each other.


When you cross two number lines that are perpendicular?

Perpendicular lines cross each other at right angles


What is the difference between a perpendicular lines and intersecting lines?

Intersecting cross each other whereas perpendicular lines cross at right angles.


Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?

It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.


What are lines that cross called?

Lines that cross each other are called intersecting lines.


What are two lines that cross at a 90 degrees angle called?

Lines that cross each other at 90 degrees are perpendicular lines.


How does a perpendicular look?

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.


What is aright angle?

the 90 degree angle between two perpendicular lines; if your wondering what perpendicular lines are they are lines that cross each other at an intersection.


What lines cross each other at a common point?

Intersecting lines. I guess perpendicular lines too.


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.


Lines which cross at right angles are said to be?

perpendicular to each other


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.
