Are the lines that contain the altitudes of a triangle are parallel?

No, they meet at a single point.


What do you call a paralla lines that meet?

Parallel lines, by definition, never meet or intersect, as they are always equidistant from each other. If lines do meet, they are not parallel. If two lines that are not parallel intersect at a single point, they are referred to as intersecting lines.


What are the three types of outcomes for linear equations?

All the lines meet at one point: a single solution. All the lines are the same: infinitely many solutions. At least one of the lines does not pass through the point of intersection of the others: no solution.


How many points do perpendicular lines share?

Perpendicular lines will only share one point: the point of intersection, where the two lines meet.


What do you call when two lines have meet?

It depends what shape the lines meet in. If they meet in a triangle the point in which the lines meet are called the vertex.In Geometry, this isn't precisely true, since there are no "lines" in a triangle, only line segments.In Euclidean (standard) geometry, two lines can only:(a) meet at a single "point"; OR(b) never meet (they are parallel lines).You could ask "what if they meet at several points?". In that case, there is just one line. A line goes on infinitely far in either direction. And if two lines meet at more than one point, they are congruent at every point, and are therefore both just the same line. It is impossible for two different lines to meet at two or more points in Euclidean geometry.

Lines of longitude meet where?

Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.

What is the intersection of a two line?

If the lines are identical, then the whole lines. If not they can either not meet at all or at a single point: the point of intersection.


Lines that meet at one point?

There is no specific name for lines that meet at one point, but lines that meet at a point, the point is called the intersection point.

All the lines of longuitude do this at the north pole?

All the lines of longitude meet or converge at the North Pole - they meet at the South Pole too!


How do you know what the vertex of an angle is?

parallel lines intersecting lines will meet at some point (ha ha point! get it?)
