Can segments be considered perpendicular if they don't intersect? Learners look at nonintersecting segments on the coordinate plane and make conclusions about the lines that contain those segments. They determine if they are perpendicular by considering translations to the origin. Finally, they create an equation using the endpoints of the segments.
