Question

If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect Write the contrapositive of the conditional statement and determine whether it is true or false.
A) If two lines intersect, then they are perpendicular. TRUE
B) If two lines intersect, then they are perpendicular. FALSE
C) If two lines do not intersect, then they are not perpendicular. TRUE
D) If two lines do not intersect, then they are not perpendicular. FALSE​

Answer 1

Answer:

C) If two lines do not intersect, then they are not perpendicular. TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

The contrapositive of a conditional statement is formed by negating both terms and reversing the direction.

If two lines are perpendicular, then they intersect

The two lines do not intersect, then they are not perpendicular.

This is a true statement

Answer 2

Contrapositive: ~q -> ~p

The answer is C.

This is correct because "two lines are perpendicular" and "they intersect" switch places in the sentence. This is also correct because they both have "not" in that part of the sentence. Basically it's correct because it reversed the terms and negated them.

Best of Luck!
