Never
Not enough information

Of course, sometimes.
They may form an angle of 90 degrees, but then they may also form another angle. (Probably not zero degrees or 180 degrees, as we call those lines coincidental by then).

Hey there!
The answer is sometimes. All perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, but not all intersecting lines are perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines measure up to 90 degrees.
I hope it helps!

Sometimes.
This system of lines:
y = x
y = 3x
intersect at (0, 0) but are not perpendicular. However,
y = x
y = -x
intersect at (0, 0) but *ARE* perpendicular.

sometimes........cuz they dont always create right angles. by the way, u dont have to post ur question twice, just post once and wait awhile.
