The difference is in the location of their intercept with any other non-parallel line.
trapazoid has 1 set parallel lines and a rhombus has 2 sets of parallel lines
postulate theorems tell that the lines are parallel, but the converse if asking you to find if the lines are parallel.
parrallel lines run side by side and do not touch intersecting cross each other
If the distance between the lines is constant then they are parallel.
Parallel lines have the same slope.
They do not have any specific name.
The difference between intersecting and parallel lines is that, on a graph parallel lines do ont touch,cross or anything. THEY NEVER TOUCH. intersecting lines touch, or cross eachother.\
parallel lines - they are parallel when the distance between them remains constant
The slope between two parallel lines is identical. This is because parallel lines have the same slope and will never intersect. The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, and when two lines are parallel, they will have the same steepness, resulting in the same slope. Therefore, the slope between two parallel lines will always be equal.
Non-parallel lines intersect at some point, parallel lines don't.
The shortest distance between 2 parallel lines is a perpendicular drawn between 2 parallel lines the diagram shows it clearly 1 parallel line ------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | the vertical line is the shortest distance | | ------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd parallel line
If two lines are parallel then the area of the plane between them is symmetrical about its centre-line (parallel to and mid-way between the boundary lines).
