you and a friend are driving go katy’s on two different tracks as you drive down a straight section heading east your friend passes above you in a straight section heading south which word describes these two stretches of track

The word that describes these two stretches of track is "intersecting" or "crossing".

The two stretches of track can be described as perpendicular.

The word that describes these two stretches of track is perpendicular. When two lines, in this case the two stretches of track, are perpendicular, it means that they intersect each other at a 90-degree angle. In this scenario, your track is heading east, which means it is traversing in the direction of the positive x-axis. Your friend's track, on the other hand, is heading south, or in the direction of the negative y-axis. The intersection of these two tracks would form a right angle, making them perpendicular to each other.
