For the expression of the parallel curve, we have to consider and not where is the normal vector (the vector is defined so that the torsion cancels): A horopter curve (in blue) and a curve of the type. The "crossties" are indeed perpendicular to the blue curve, but not to the red one.

It just means at right angles (90°) to. The red line is perpendicular to the blue line: Here also: (The little box drawn in the corner, means "at right angles", so we didn't really need to alsoshow that it was 90°, but we just wanted to!) Try for yourself:
Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), and will never meet. (They also point in the same direction). Just remember:
Question: What is the difference between perpendicular and parallel? Answer:90 degrees (a right angle) That's right, when we rotate a perpendicular line by 90° it becomes parallel (but not if it touches!) Likewise, parallel lines become perpendicular when one line is rotated 90°.
Curves can also be parallel when they keep the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), like railroad tracks. The red curve is parallel to the blue curve in both these cases:
Sep 12, 2020 · When we talk about a straight line : y = mx + b y = m x + b. a line is parallel to another if their m m is the same (disregarding the b b), is that right? What happens when we talk about a curve such as: y = nx2 + mx + b y = n x 2 + m x + b.
Two definitions of a parallel curve: 1) envelope of a family of congruent circles, 2) by a fixed normal distance. The parallel curves of a circle (red) are circles, too. A parallel of a curve is the envelope of a family of congruent circles centered on the curve. It generalises the concept of parallel (straight) lines.
Every regular curve having a continuous curvature has an infinite family of parallel curves. The parallelism of curves is an equivalence relation . The two parallel curves γ ± a on both sides of a curve γ at the distance a form the envelope of the family of circles with center on γ and radius a .
Two parallel curves have parallel symmetric images (with the same gap). The symmetric images of two secant curves intersect with the same angle (but opposite sign) A curve is its own symmetric image with respect to its evolute. Examples:

How do you know if a curve is parallel?
I have a simple parabola in the form y = a + bx2. I would like to find the formula for a curve which is parallel to this curve by distance c. By parallel I mean that there is an equal distance along a line perpendicular to the tangent to my curve at all points.
