Front

What is an intersecting line?

Back

An intersecting line is a line that crosses another line at one point.

Front

What is a perpendicular line?

Back

A perpendicular line is a line that intersects another line at a right angle (90 degrees).

Front

Can two parallel lines ever meet?

Back

No, two parallel lines will never meet or intersect.

Front

What do we call lines that meet at a point?

Back

Lines that meet at a point are called intersecting lines.

Front

What is the angle formed by perpendicular lines?

Back

The angle formed by perpendicular lines is 90 degrees.

Front

How can you identify parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines can be identified by their equal distance apart and the fact that they never meet.

Front

What happens when two intersecting lines cross?

Back

When two intersecting lines cross, they form angles at the point of intersection.

Front

What is the relationship between perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines form right angles (90 degrees) with each other.

Front

Can a line be both parallel and perpendicular to another line?

Back

No, a line cannot be both parallel and perpendicular to another line at the same time.
