I would say no. Since vector location is subjective, only the direction and magnitude is fixed, two opposite vectors could be overlapping, fully or partial or not at all. To say they are parallel would imply that cannot overlap.
So while it is possible for opposite vectors to be parallel, it is not an assumption that can be made.

What is an opposite vector?
It is a vector with the same magnitude (size) but acting in the opposite direction.
What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?
The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
What mathematical operation do you do when two vectors point in opposite directions?
You do vector addition.
What is the vector equal but opposite to the resultant vector?
equilibrant
What are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
equal and opposite
Why is Vector resolution the opposite of vector addition?
Vector addition derives a new vector from two or more vectors, and vector resolution is breaking a vector down into its two or more components.
What is the opposite to vector addition?
the opposite to vector addition is vector subtraction.
If one component of a vector A is zero along the direction of another vector B then in what direction the two vectors will be?
opposite direction.
When two equal and opposite vectors are added their resultant vector has zero magnitude what is the direction of this resultant?
The zero-vector has no direction.
What is an opposite vector?
It is a vector with the same magnitude (size) but acting in the opposite direction.
What the difference between vector and resultant vector?
Equilibrant vector is the opposite of resultant vector, they act in opposite directions to balance each other.
What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?
The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
What mathematical operation do you do when two vectors point in opposite directions?
You do vector addition.
What is the vector equal but opposite to the resultant vector?
equilibrant
What represents two dimensional motion?
Two Scalars that go in opposite directionsOne scalar and one vector!
What is meant by negative vector?
It is a vector that has the opposite direction to the reference positive direction. (A vector is one point in space relative to another.) Negative vector is the opposite direction
What are those two vectors whose resultant vector is zero?
equal and opposite
