What are two line line segments that are not parallel?

two line segments that are not parallel are intersecting even if they don't touch like this /l / l they are considered intersecting because you must extend it like they are lines to say they are parallel or not


If a line has no y-intercept what can you say about the line?

-- I can say that the equation of the line is [ x = a number ]. -- I can also say that the line is vertical on a graph. -- I can also say that the line is parallel to the y-axis. -- Also that it's perpendicular to the x-axis.


Can a single line be parallel to itself?

Normally 2 equidistance lines are needed to designate them as parallel lines. If we say parallel lines, we mean different lines. However, we can say that the line can be parallel to itself if we move it to another dimension. For example, if the line lives in 2D, we can paralleled move it it in the 3D space, and move it again where it was, or vice versa. The beauty is that this line has a unique position on the plane, but in 3D it has infinitely many positions without breaking the condition, the same direction.


How do you draw a quadrilateral with four equal sides but no right angles?

A rhombus. Just draw a diagonal line of say 5cm and then add two more 5cm lines parallel to each other at each end of the first line(Assuming you drew the first line diagonally then if you draw both of these horizontally then they will be parallel and you won't have made a right angle.). Next you just join up the ends to draw the final line which should be 5cm. _ /_/ <--- Kind of looks like this


What can you say about the motion of an object if it's speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?

That the object is moving at a constant velocity
