For this case we have that the symbol shown indicates perpendicularity. That is, both expressions are perpendicular.

Example:

The lines are perpendicular when they cross each other at a 90 degree angle. They have slopes that are opposite reciprocals between them. In addition, the perpendicular lines must intersect.

Answer:

The symbol indicates that they are perpendicular, the expressions form an angle of 90 degrees.
