Parallel lines are lines which share the same gradient. In Euclidean geometry (the geometry used in standard mathematics and day-to-day physics), parallel lines will never meet at a point, but will share every point along their (infinite) lengths if 1 point is observed to coincide with both.
The parallel postulate, which is a geometric axiom of Euclid's geometry, defines these properties. However, by moving into elliptical and hyperbolic geometries, parallel lines can be allow to intersect at points (where parallel lines are defined as 2 lines having the same gradient), whilst still retaining logically consistent geometrical definitions.
Parallel lines are the opposite of perpendicular lines which meet at right angles.
Parallel lines are coplanar lines that never touch, their minimum distance apart being the same at any point.
For example (below, Imagine if these lines went on for ever)

What are lines that never intersect called?
the answer is parallel lines
What are all the lines like parallel?
parallel lines are slanted lines
Can parallel lines intersect?
No, never. Parallel lines are line that will NEVER intersect.
What is the equation for parallel lines?
Parallel Lines have the same slope.
What lines are called parallel lines?
Parallel lines are like this / / / / / / THEY NEVER TOUCH AND ARE OPPOSITE
When are two lines nonintersecting?
When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.
Are parallel lines actually parallel?
If they were not actually parallel then they would not be parallel lines!
Why does the Parthenon have no parallel lines?
it has parallel lines
Does a rectangle have parallel lines?
no parallel lines
What is the function of parallel lines?
parallel lines are diagonal lines or increasing lines
Does perpendicular have parallel lines?
= parallel + perpendicular As such no, perpendicular lines do not naturally have parallel lines. However...connect the lines in the symbols below. ++ ++ And you'll have 4 perpendicular lines, and 4 parallel lines.
Skew lines and parallel lines exactly the same?
Skew lines are not parallel. Parallel lines are across from each other in some way and are exactly parallel.
Can parallel lines be intersecting lines?
No, parallel lines do not intersect, and never will.
What are lines that never intersect called?
the answer is parallel lines
What are all the lines like parallel?
parallel lines are slanted lines
Does a octahedron have parallel lines?
It can, but it need not have parallel lines.
Do parallel lines meet at a 30 dregrese angle?
Lines that meet are not parallel, and parallel lines never meet.
