Two lines are perpendicular (┴) if they intersect at a right angle (i.e., 90°). E.g., if one line is vertical and another is horizontal, then they are perpendicular.

To do so, we calculate the coordinates of an unknown point by using two points with known coordinates. interpolationWhen the unknown point is located BETWEEN the two points, this process is called interpolation. extrapolationSometimes a graph passing through the known points is EXTENDED to predict future values.
