See explanation below.

Explanation:

When there are two parallel lines, these two lines are never able to intersect or touch. If you were to slightly tilt a line that is parallel to another, then the tilted line would eventually touch or intersect the other line. Perpendicular lines are two lines in which one of the lines intersects the other line, and the angles created from the intersection of these two lines are all right angles.
