What is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose slope is 2?
2. Parallel lines have the same slope.
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
How many parallel line in a rhombus?
2 pairs of parallel lines.
How do you tell if lines on a graph are parallel?
two ways : 1. calculate the slope of the two lines, if it is same, they are parallel. 2. draw a perpendicular line ( 90 degrees) from on of the lines and if it intersects the other line at 90degrees then they are parallel -HD
What is the line called going across 2 parallel lines?
Transversal
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line with slope -2?
For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. A line parallel to a line with slope -2 would have a slope of -2.
Different kinds of lines and their definition?
Parallel lines: they never intersect Transversal lines: they cut through parallel line Line segment: it has 2 endpoints Number line: has negative, zero and postive numbers on it in ascending order Line of best fit: best correlation between 2 variables Dotted line: separates graphical quantities Straight line equation: plotted on the Cartesian plane
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose slope is 2?
2. Parallel lines have the same slope.
How do you find the shortest distance between two parallel lines?
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
What line passes through 2 parallel lines?
Any line that is not parallel to the given lines. The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.
How many parallel line in a rhombus?
2 pairs of parallel lines.
If the slope of a line is -2 What is the slope parallel to it?
-2. Slopes of parallel lines are the same. If the lines are different it is the intercedpt that is different.
What is the slope of a parallel line?
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you have a line with slope = 2, for example, and another line is parallel to the first line, it will also have slope = 2.
What line intersects a pair of parallel lines at 2 different points?
A transversal line intersects parallel lines creating various angles.
Define parallel and explain how the slope of 2 parallel lines would be related?
I always remembered parallel line because of the 2 "L's" in parallel. They are perfectly parallel to each other and will never intersect. The slope of a line is the rise over run, or rise/run. Therefore if both lines are parallel, the slopes of the lines are the same.
How do you tell if lines on a graph are parallel?

How do you show parallel and perpendicular lines on shapes?
Put 2 lines on the perpendicular sides and put 1 line for the parallel sides
