In a 2 dimensional plain they would have to be parallel in order to have no common point; in a 3 dimensional field they do not have to be parallel.

Lines that have no point in common?

parallel


Parallel lines are defined as lines that have only one point in common?

No, parallel lines never intersect, so they do not have any points in common. Intersecting lines have one common point.


Lines that have one point in common?

Intersecting lines. If they have only one point in common, then they are also non-parallel.


Two coplanar lines with no point in common are?

parallel


What do parallel lines have?

No point in common. That is correct. More common explanation is that even if you extend the lines in either direction, they would not touch (i.e. have a common point.)


Do lines that aren't parallel always intersect?

Yes, they do. By definition, lines that never intersect must be parallel, so all non-parallel lines must intersect at some point. Given that they are normal lines (y=mx+b) they will always have a point that suffices the equation when they are set equal to each other.


What would happen if parallel lines weren't parallel?

They would 'intersect'. ('cross', have one point in common)


What do you call a paralla lines that meet?

Parallel lines, by definition, never meet or intersect, as they are always equidistant from each other. If lines do meet, they are not parallel. If two lines that are not parallel intersect at a single point, they are referred to as intersecting lines.


What two lines do that cross at a point?

Two lines that cross at a point are said to intersect. The point where they meet is called the point of intersection. If the lines are not parallel, they will always cross at exactly one point in a two-dimensional plane. In contrast, parallel lines never intersect and thus do not meet at any point.


Is a line parallel to itself?

Two lines are not parallel if they have exactly one point in common; otherwise they are parallel. So this means a line is parallel to itself!


What is the common point at which two lines meet?

point I believe the word you're looking for is "intersection". Two non-parallel lines that lie in the same plane will have one point in common where they cross, and that point is the intersection.


Lines with one point in common?

Two lines with one point in common are said to intersect at that point. Any two straight lines with infinite length will eventually intersect each other, unless they are parallel to each other.
