What does parallel lines bisected by a transversal line mean?
There are three lines in the figure described. Two of the lines never meet, these are the parallel lines. The third line crosses the other lines, it is the "transversal" line. If the parallel lines are really line SEGMENTS then each can be bisected (cut into two equal lengths) This is what your description states.
Do transversal lines intersect?
Absolutely. The transversal line is the line that crosses two parallel lines. Here is a good link: * http://www.mathopenref.com/transversal.html
If two lines are parallel to a third line then the two lines are parallel?
They are parallel to each other.
If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?
since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.
What is the transitive property of parallel lines?
If two lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.
What is the line that separates 2 parallel lines?
Restate the question: What is the name for a line that crosses two parallel lines? Transversal
What are transversal lines?
Transversal lines are made when one line crosses two parallel lines.

What are angles called where transversely line crosses two parallel lines?
Different pairs of angles have different names.
Can you have cooresponding angles when you have only two intersecting lines?
No. You need two lines (which may or may not be parallel), and a third line, called a transversal, which crosses the other two.
Which line crosses two other lines?
A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines in the plane at different points.
If two lines are parallel to a third line then the two lines are parallel?
They are parallel to each other.
If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?
since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.
What is the relationship between the equations of parallel lines?
They have the same slope. If you write the lines in the slope-intercept form, you will get, for each line: y = ax + b where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). For two or more parallel lines, the coefficient "a" will be the same.
Does a transversal line have to intersect with two parallel lines?
Yes, a transversal line always intersects two parallel lines.
When two parallel lines are crossed by another line. what is it?
two parallel lines are crossed by another line ,that's the perpendicular.
