Let’s go step by step to figure out each pair of lines.
We are looking for three possibilities:
-
Parallel: Lines that never meet, no matter how far you extend them. They stay the same distance apart.
-
Perpendicular: Lines that cross at a right angle (90 degrees). Often shown with a small square where they meet.
-
Intersecting: Lines that cross each other, but NOT at a right angle.
---
1. The two lines slant in the same direction and never touch →
Parallel
2. The lines cross each other, but not at a right angle →
Intersecting
3. These lines are getting closer together — if extended, they would meet. Not parallel. Not perpendicular either →
Intersecting
4. There’s a little square where they cross → that means 90° →
Perpendicular
5. Lines cross, but no right-angle mark →
Intersecting
6. Same slant, same distance apart →
Parallel
7. Little square at the crossing → 90° →
Perpendicular
8. Lines cross, no right angle →
Intersecting

Final Answer:
1. Parallel
2. Intersecting
3. Intersecting
4. Perpendicular
5. Intersecting
6. Parallel
7. Perpendicular
8. Intersecting
