No, they have to be straight. --------------------------- ------------------ Those are parallel lines because they are straight. In geometry, a non-straight line has no meaning. It is allowed that arcs, planes and such can be parallel. In common usage, a twisting and turning line can be described as parallel to another, such as the rails of a railroad track, even though they are not co-planar or straight. It may not be proper by geometric definition but it is descriptive and conveys the meaning adequately.

What difference between parallel and non parallel line in drawings?
Non-parallel lines intersect at some point, parallel lines don't.
What are the different straight lines?
Parallel
Can 2 non intersecting lines be parallel in 2 D?
In 2D geometry, that is the definition of parallel lines. Two non-intersecting lines are indeed parallel.
Can two lines be both non intersecting and non parallel?
no, if two lines are not parallel then the will eventually have to intersect.Alternate perspective:Yes, if two lines are non-parallel, they need not intersect in three dimensional space.
What are straight lines in the same plane that do not intersect?
Parallel lines
Can a circle be a parallel line?
No, parallel lines are straight lines.
Does a rainbow shape have parallel lines?
Strictly speaking, the answer is no. There is an implicit assumption that parallel lines refer to straight lines and, since there are no straight lines in a rainbow, there cannot be any parallel lines. The lines are concentric and so they never meet.
What difference between parallel and non parallel line in drawings?
Non-parallel lines intersect at some point, parallel lines don't.
What are the different straight lines?
Parallel
What is a shape with 4 straight lines and 2 parallel lines and 2 unparalleled lines?
A shape with 4 straight lines in which there are 2 parallel and 2 unparallel lines is called a Trapezium.
Can 2 non intersecting lines be parallel in 2 D?
In 2D geometry, that is the definition of parallel lines. Two non-intersecting lines are indeed parallel.
What is the symbol of non-polar capacitors?
Two straight parallel lines. One straight, and one curved is often used to denote a polarized capacitor.
What are straight lines that never cross called?
Straight lines that never cross are called parallel lines.
Can two lines be both non intersecting and non parallel?
no, if two lines are not parallel then the will eventually have to intersect.Alternate perspective:Yes, if two lines are non-parallel, they need not intersect in three dimensional space.
What does parallel meen?
Parallel lines are straight lines which are oriented the same way. For example, two railway lines are parallel to each other.
What are straight lines in the same plane that do not intersect?
Parallel lines
What is a non collinear lines?
the lines which are not parallel to each other are non collinear lines
