Slope of line 1 is 1/3 and slope of line 2 is 1/3 which means the lines are parallel
A transversal line cutting through parallel lines creates various 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.
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
A line that cuts through two parallel lines.
