Answer:

Explanation:

The correct definition of perpendicular lines is option 1: "Two lines that intersect in a way that forms right angles."

When two lines intersect to form four right angles (90-degree angles), they are said to be perpendicular to each other. The point at which the lines intersect is called the point of intersection.

Therefore, option 1 is the correct definitation of perpendicular lines.
