A transversal is a line that crosses two or more other lines in the plane at different points.
Restate the question: What is the name for a line that crosses two parallel lines? Transversal
Different pairs of angles have different names.

Transversal lines are made when one line crosses two parallel lines.

Transversal, I thinkhttp://www.mathopenref.com/anglestransexterior.html
Absolutely. The transversal line is the line that crosses two parallel lines. Here is a good link: * http://www.mathopenref.com/transversal.html
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.
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 line that intersects two or more lines on a plane is a
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.
