Let's analyze each pair of lines in the image and determine whether they are
parallel,
perpendicular, or
intersecting.
---
Definitions:
-
Parallel lines: Lines that never meet; they are always the same distance apart.
-
Perpendicular lines: Lines that intersect at a
right angle (90°). Often marked with a small square at the intersection.
-
Intersecting lines: Lines that cross each other at any angle (not necessarily 90°). This includes perpendicular lines, but "intersecting" is a broader category.

Now, let’s go through each one:
---
1)
Two vertical lines, same direction, not crossing
→ They are
parallel
✔ Answer: Parallel
2)
One vertical line, one horizontal line, meeting at a right angle (square symbol shown)
→ They form a 90° angle →
Perpendicular
✔ Answer: Perpendicular
3)
Two lines crossing each other, forming an "X", no right angle indicated
→ They
intersect, but not at 90° →
Intersecting
✔ Answer: Intersecting
4)
Two lines crossing each other at an angle, not 90°
→ They
intersect, but not perpendicularly →
Intersecting
✔ Answer: Intersecting
5)
Two slanted lines, same direction, equal spacing
→ They never meet →
Parallel
✔ Answer: Parallel
6)
Horizontal and vertical lines meeting at a right angle (square symbol shown)
→
Perpendicular
✔ Answer: Perpendicular
7)
Two lines forming an "X" shape, crossing at a point
→ They
intersect, but not at 90° →
Intersecting
✔ Answer: Intersecting
8)
Two lines slanted in the same direction, not touching, same distance apart
→
Parallel
✔ Answer: Parallel
9)
Vertical and horizontal lines meeting at a right angle (square symbol shown)
→
Perpendicular
✔ Answer: Perpendicular
