What are parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.

Can two lines be both parallel and perpendicular?

Back

No, two lines cannot be both parallel and perpendicular; they are mutually exclusive.

Front

How do you determine if two lines are perpendicular using their slopes?

Back

If the product of the slopes of two lines is -1, then the lines are perpendicular.

Front

What is the significance of intersecting lines in geometry?

Back

Intersecting lines can create angles, which are fundamental in geometry for measuring and constructing shapes.
