Transversal, I think

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.
Absolutely. The transversal line is the line that crosses two parallel lines. Here is a good link: * http://www.mathopenref.com/transversal.html
They are parallel to each other.
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.
If two lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.
Restate the question: What is the name for a line that crosses two parallel lines? Transversal
Transversal lines are made when one line crosses two parallel lines.

Different pairs of angles have different names.
No. You need two lines (which may or may not be parallel), and a third line, called a transversal, which crosses the other two.
A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines in the plane at different points.
Yes, two lines that lie in parallel to the same line are always parallel to each other. This is based on the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines, which states that if line A is parallel to line B, and line B is parallel to line C, then line A is parallel to line C. Thus, if two lines are both parallel to a third line, they must be parallel to each other.
They are parallel to each other.
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.
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.
Yes, a transversal line always intersects two parallel lines.
