Question

Is there a symbol for intersecting lines?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Determining if there is a symbol for intersecting lines:

We know that there are three types of lines namely- parallel lines, perpendicular lines and intersecting lines.

We have symbols to represent parallel lines and perpendicular lines such as

$P$ parallel to $Q=P\parallel Q$

$P$ perpendicular to $Q=P\perp Q$

When two or more lines cut or intersect each other at a single point, they are called intersecting lines. We do not have any symbols to represent intersecting lines.

If two lines $P$ and $Q$ meet or pass through a single point say $O$, then we can say $P$ intersects $Q$ or $Q$ intersect $P$.

But we cannot represent intersecting lines with a symbol.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
