What are two line line segments that are not parallel?

two line segments that are not parallel are intersecting even if they don't touch like this /l / l they are considered intersecting because you must extend it like they are lines to say they are parallel or not


If a line has no y-intercept what can you say about the line?

-- I can say that the equation of the line is [ x = a number ]. -- I can also say that the line is vertical on a graph. -- I can also say that the line is parallel to the y-axis. -- Also that it's perpendicular to the x-axis.


Can a single line be parallel to itself?

Normally 2 equidistance lines are needed to designate them as parallel lines. If we say parallel lines, we mean different lines. However, we can say that the line can be parallel to itself if we move it to another dimension. For example, if the line lives in 2D, we can paralleled move it it in the 3D space, and move it again where it was, or vice versa. The beauty is that this line has a unique position on the plane, but in 3D it has infinitely many positions without breaking the condition, the same direction.


How do you draw a quadrilateral with four equal sides but no right angles?

A rhombus. Just draw a diagonal line of say 5cm and then add two more 5cm lines parallel to each other at each end of the first line(Assuming you drew the first line diagonally then if you draw both of these horizontally then they will be parallel and you won't have made a right angle.). Next you just join up the ends to draw the final line which should be 5cm. _ /_/ <--- Kind of looks like this


What can you say about the motion of an object if it's speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?

What equation reprents a line that is parallel to the line y-4x 5?

Do you mean y = -4x+5 then by changing the y intercept of 5 into another value of say 7 the two equations will be parallel to each other providing the slope of -4 remains the same.

What can you say about the motion of an object whose distance time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?

If the line is parallel to the time axis, this means that the distance is not changing, so the object is not moving.


What was the seventh parallel?

The 7th parallel is a common name meaning either 7 degrees north or south of the equator. It's a latitude line that circles the earth and you would normally say "7th parallel north" or "7th parallel south."


What makes a parallelogram a parallelogram?

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which each of two sets of opposite sides consists of two parallel lines (or for math purists I should say, parallel line segments).


Determine the equation of a line with the x-intercept -2 and parallel to 27 - 3x -1 The answer is y -23x - 2 BUT you have no clue how to get that you can do it for y ints not x please answer?

If you have a line, such as y=mx+b, in slope intercept form, you know that any line parallel to it has slope m also. It does not matter what the y intercept is, if slope is m, it will be parallel to the original line. Example: y=3x+2, than any line with slope 3 is parallel, so y=3x+15 is parallel. If you have a specific y intercept, say 29, than the parallel line will be y=3x+29 I can't read you equation well enough to understand them, but this should explain how to do it. So here is another example: A line parallel to y=4x+13 with y intercept 22 y=4x+22 is the answer.

What is the other standard E English of fall in line?

In England we do not say "fall in line" and instead of fall in line we would usually say "line up" or "form an orderly line".
