What is the perpendicular line do in geometry?
Perpendicular lines intersect at right angles.
Are perpendicular lines parrelelines?
They are parts of geometry
Types of lines used in geometry?
Line segments, perpendicular lines, and intersecting lines.
Are the rules of parallel and perpendicular lines different in spherical geometry than in Euclidean geometry?
yes
Would perpendicular lines have negative or positive slopes?
I believe they have Negative Slopes as stated by my Geometry Book. "Perpendicular Lines Have Slopes Which Are Negative ___"
Can perpendicular lines be intersecting lines?
In Euclidean plane geometry, two lines which are perpendicular not only can but must intersect. (I believe the same is true for elliptic geometry and hyperbolic geometry.)
Can two lines intersects and be perpendicular?

What are 4 things in geometry that determine a plane?
perpendicular lines

Will perpendicular lines ever meet?
By definition, perpendicular lines are those which meet in a right angle. So, yes, they have to meet in order to be "perpendicular". Parallel lines may, or may not, meet, depending on how you choose your axioms. In Euclidean geometry, parallel lines never meet. In certain types of non-Euclidean geometry, they can meet.
How can you determine if two lines are perpendicular?
If the angle formed between the intersecting lines are 90o then the two lines are perpendicular. In 2D coordinate geometry, a perpendicular line has a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the original line.
How many right angles are formed by perpendicular lines in spherical geometry?
8
What are three methods to prove that two lines are parallel?
In analytical geometry (geometry with numbers for coordinates), the easiest method is to show that they have the same slope.You could also prove that the distance between the lines, at different parts, is the same (draw a perpendicular to one of the lines).In analytical geometry (geometry with numbers for coordinates), the easiest method is to show that they have the same slope.You could also prove that the distance between the lines, at different parts, is the same (draw a perpendicular to one of the lines).In analytical geometry (geometry with numbers for coordinates), the easiest method is to show that they have the same slope.You could also prove that the distance between the lines, at different parts, is the same (draw a perpendicular to one of the lines).In analytical geometry (geometry with numbers for coordinates), the easiest method is to show that they have the same slope.You could also prove that the distance between the lines, at different parts, is the same (draw a perpendicular to one of the lines).
