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.

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.

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.


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.
