Rays aren't really lines, since (Euclidean) lines extend infinitely in all directions, so they can't be parallel lines.

But that's to fret a bit too much over the wording. Yes, rays, just like lines and line segments, can be parallel to other rays, lines, or line segments.

No, parallel lines cannot ever intersect. The have identical slopes. Therefore, they will always remain parallel.

Two segments or rays in the same plane are parallel if the containing them are parallel.?

Yes, two segments or rays in the same plane are considered parallel if the lines that contain them are parallel. This means that the segments or rays will never intersect, regardless of how far they are extended. The concept of parallelism is based on the idea that the two lines maintain a consistent distance apart in the plane.


Will perpendicula lines ever touch?

Yes but parallel lines wont ever touch.


Can intersecting lines ever be parallel?

Not at all. If they touch, then they can't be parallel


Can two rays be parallel?

This depends on how you define ray. If two rays means two distinct lines radiating from a single point, then they can't be parallel in Euclidean geometry.
