Lines are parallel if they lie in the same plane, and are the same distance apart over their entire length. Parallel lines remain the same distance apart over their entire length. No matter how far you extend them, they will never meet.

How do you draw a line parallel to a given line?
[A Parallel line is a straight line, opposite to another, that do not intersect or meet.] Ie. Line 1 is Parallel to Line 2. ------------------------------------------------- <Line 1 ------------------------------------------------- <Line 2
If two lines are parallel are they congruent?
First, lines and rays cannot be congruent because they do not have both end points defined. Not having an end point define means we cannot talk about their length so they can't be congruent. Line segments, however, can be congruent. Congruent line segments NEED NOT be parallel.Furthermore, if two line segments are parallel, that does not mean they are congruent since parallel line segments may not have the same length.Congruent line segments would be ones that are the same length.
What are the subset of line define each?
define a subset
What is the Slope of line parallel to y equals 6?
The line y = 6 is horizontal and has a slope of zero, as does any line that is parallel to it.
Which line is not parallel to the graph of y 2x 1?
Any line which has a gradient which is not 2 will not be parallel to the line y = 2x + 1.
Which undefined terms are needed to define parallel lines?
Line, plane
Define 38th parallel?
The 38 parallel is the 38 parallel latitude line across the globe. But this is the line dividing the North Korean and South Korean countries.
Through a given point on a given line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line what does it define?
Playfair Axiom
Define parallel and explain how the slope of 2 parallel lines would be related?
I always remembered parallel line because of the 2 "L's" in parallel. They are perfectly parallel to each other and will never intersect. The slope of a line is the rise over run, or rise/run. Therefore if both lines are parallel, the slopes of the lines are the same.
How capacitor is denoted?
2 parallel lines. sometimes one line is curved, if so that is the outside or "shield" foil.. ANSWER : A curved parallel line define a less positive terminals of the two lines. capacitors do not have shields
How do you draw a line parallel to a given line?
[A Parallel line is a straight line, opposite to another, that do not intersect or meet.] Ie. Line 1 is Parallel to Line 2. ------------------------------------------------- <Line 1 ------------------------------------------------- <Line 2
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 find a slope of a line parallel?
Line a is parallel to line b, m, and . Find .
What is the need of parallel line algorithm?
Do you mean "Why might a parallel line algorithm be needed?" or "What properties does a parallel line algorithm need to have?".
What is the slope of a line parallel to a vertical line?
A vertical line has an undefined slope. For the line to be parallel to a vertical line, the slopes would have to be the same. Therefore, the line parallel to a vertical line also has an undefined slope.
How do you draw a parallel line with a set square?
draw line st parallel to line mn
