when two lines are cut by a transversal so that the corresponding angles are congruent, the the lines are parallel
Transversal lines are not parallel and so have a gradient that is different to that of the given lines.
Angles on opposite sides of the transversal and between the parallel lines
Alternate and interior angles are created between parallel lines when a transversal line cuts through them.
a transversal line If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.
