Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same
distance apart and never touch. In order for two lines to
be parallel, they must be drawn in the same plane, a
perfectly flat surface like a wall or sheet of paper. ... Any
line that has the same slope as the original will never
intersect with it.

Intersecting lines are two lines that share exactly one

point. This shared point is called the point of
intersection. Although we're dealing specifically with
lines in this lesson, line segments also intersect where
they share a common point.

Perpendicular means "at right angles". A line meeting

another at a right angle, or 90° is said to be
perpendicular to it. In the figure above, the line AB is
perpendicular to the line DF. If they met at some other
angle we would say that AB meets DF 'obliquely
