Any line that is not parallel to the given lines.

The transversal that contains the shortest distance between the two parallel lines, is perpendicular to them.

Tell whether these lines are parallel perpendicular or neither. Line 1 that passes through (-1 4) and (5 6). Line 2 that passes through (-3 -2) and (3 0).?

Slope of line 1 is 1/3 and slope of line 2 is 1/3 which means the lines are parallel


What line intersect through parallel lines?

A transversal line cutting through parallel lines creates various angles


Why do parallel lines always make vertical angles?

Wrong statement. Parallel lines don't always make vertical angles without the transversal, the line that passes through these lines. Without the transversal, we can't make the conclusion that parallel lines form vertical angles.


What is a line which cuts parallel line?

The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL


How do you negate the euclidean parallel postulate?

Assume there are no lines through a given point that is parallel to a given line or assume that there are many lines through a given point that are parallel to a given line. There exist a line l and a point P not on l such that either there is no line m parallel to l through P or there are two distinct lines m and n parallel to l through P.


Is it true that if two lines are crossed by a transversal the two lines are parallel?

A transversal is simply any line that passes through two or more coplanar lines each at different points. So picture, if you will, two lines that are clearly not parallel. I can easily construct a transversal that passes through them. HOWEVER, if two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. This is called the transversal postulate. If the corresponding angles are congruent, than the lines are parallel. This is the converse of the first postulate. So, the answer to your question is NO, unless the corresponding angles are congruent.


What is the definition of transversal lines?

A line that cuts through two parallel lines.

What is an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line?

What is a longitude lines?

Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.


How would you graph this x equals 3 and x equals negative 2?

[ x = 3 ] and [ x = -2 ] are two separate vertical lines on the graph.The first vertical line passes through the point [ x = 3 ] on the x-axis.The second vertical line passes through the point [ x = -2 ] on the x-axis.Both lines have infinite slope.Neither line has a y-intercept.The lines are parallel, and they never intersect.
