In your own words, explain the difference between intersecting and perpendicular lines. Can two lines exist that are not intersecting or parallel? Explain your answer.

Next, I want you to find an example of intersecting, perpendicular, and parallel lines from the "real world". You will explain each of the three examples and POST A PHOTO directly into the your message for each example (do not attach). It must be a photograph of real world object(s), i.e. not a textbook diagram (any with words) or hand-drawn picture. A gold-star if you can find any of these properties actually occurring in nature (not made-made or man-caused in any way).

Solution Summary

This solution explains and goes through examples of intersecting and perpendicular lines.

Solution Preview

Intersecting lines meet at a point. If they meet at a right angle, they are perpendicular lines. If they do not intersect, they could be parallel. Parallel lines have the same slope (they travel in the same direction).

In two dimensions, lines can either be parallel or they can ...
