absolutely, and for the same reason that L is perpendicular to M.

by definition, 2 lines are perpendicular to each other if the angle between them is 90 degrees.

since L is perpendicular to M, the angle between them is 90 degrees.

thhis means that M is also perpendicular to L because the angle between them is 90 degrees.
