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

Lines that have no point in common?

parallel


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


Are 2 lines have no common point is always parallel?

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.


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.)


What would happen if parallel lines weren't parallel?

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


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.


What are lines that have one point in common?

Lines that have one point in common are said to intersect one another at that point. Almost all straight lines of infinite length intersect one another, unless they are parallel to each other.


What are two coplanar lines called that have no points in common?

Coplanar lines that do not intersect (have no common point) are parallel.Two objects are coplanar if they both lie in the same plane, they must either intersect or be parallel.


What term applies to two lines in the same plane if they have no common plane?

If they are in the same plane, then they share a common plane. Did you mean to say common point. If that's the case where they are in the same plane, but do not share a common point, then they are parallel lines.
