Question

Two lines that intersect to form right angles are called what?

Answer 1

Two lines that intersect to form right angles are called perpendicular lines.

• The perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect each other.
• The slope of the perpendicular lines is equal to the negative reciprocal.
• The line which is perpendicular to two parallel lines acts as a transversal line.
• In the case of the transversal line, equal pairs of alternate angles and corresponding angles are formed.

Hence, two lines that intersect to form right angles are called perpendicular lines.

Answer 2

Answer:

Concept:

When two lines intersect at a straight angle, the two lines are said to be perpendicular. A first line is perpendicular to a second sentence if (1) the two lines meet; and (2) the linear angle on one side of the first line is cut by the second line into corresponding sides angles at the point of meeting. Perpendicularity is symmetric, which means that if one line is perpendicular to another, the second line is also horizontal to the first. As a result, we can refer to two lines as perpendicular (to each other) without mentioning their order.

Answer:

• Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines that make a right angle. Perpendicular lines are those that connect at a straight angle.
• Intersecting lines are two or more lines that meet at a location. Two lines that cross and make a right angle are called perpendicular lines.
• When two lines connect, they form a plane, therefore they're in the "same plane." Perpendicular or orthogonal lines are those that cross at right angles.
• Orthogonal lines are formed when two lines connect at right angles to make a right angle. Their slopes are also equal and opposite in direction.
