Answer: Hypothesis: Two lines intersect at right angles.

Conclusion: The two lines are not perpendicular.

Explanation:

A conditional statement is written as "if p then q" , where symbol 'p' represents the hypothesis and symbol 'q' represents the conclusion.

For example : If a coin has two heads , then the coin is biased.

here , Hypothesis : a coin has two heads

Conclusion : coin is biased

Given conditional statement : If two lines intersect at right angles, then the two lines are perpendicular.

Here, Hypothesis: Two lines intersect at right angles.

Conclusion: The two lines are not perpendicular.
