These lines are parallel, because a pair of Corresponding Angles are equal. These lines are not parallel, because a pair of Consecutive Interior Angles do not add up to 180° (81° + 101° =182°) These lines are parallel, because a pair of Alternate Interior Angles are equal.

Parallel lines are two lines in a plane that will never intersect (meaning they will continue on forever without ever touching).
A key feature of parallel lines is that they have identical slopes.
The slope of a line is defined as the rise (change in Y coordinates) over the run (change in X coordinates) of a line, in other words how steep the line is.
Parallel lines are most commonly represented by two vertical lines (ll). For example, ABllCD indicates that line AB is parallel to CD.
Define the formula for slope.
The slope of a line is defined by (Y
) where X and Y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates of points on the line. You must define two points on the line to calculate this formula. The point closer to the bottom of the line is (X
) and the point higher on the line, above the first point, is (X
This formula can be restated as the rise over the run. It is the change in vertical difference over the change in horizontal difference, or the steepness of the line.
If a line points upwards to the right, it will have a positive slope.
Define the slope-intercept formula of a line.
The formula of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x and y are variables that represent coordinates on the line; generally, you will see them remain as x and y in the equation. In this form, you can easily determine the slope of the line as the variable "m".
For example. Rewrite 4y - 12x = 20 and y = 3x -1. The equation 4y - 12x = 20 needs to be rewritten with algebra while y = 3x -1 is already in slope-intercept form and does not need to be rearranged.
Rewrite the formula of the line in slope-intercept form.
Oftentimes, the formula of the line you are given will not be in slope-intercept form. It only takes a little math and rearranging of variables to get it into slope-intercept.
For example: Rewrite line 4y-12x=20 into slope-intercept form.
Point-slope form allows you to write the equation of a line when you know its slope and have an (x, y) coordinate. You would use this formula when you want to define a second parallel line to an already given line with a defined slope. The formula is y – y
= m (x – x
) where m is the slope of the line, x
is the x coordinate of a point given on the line and y
is the y coordinate of that point.
As in the slope-intercept equation, x and y are variables that represent coordinates on the line; generally, you will see them remain as x and y in the equation.

Sep 5, 2021 · since the arrows indicate parallel lines. because alternate interior angles of parallel lines are equal. . Answer: . Corresponding angles of two lines are two angles which are on the same side of the two lines and the same side of the transversal, In Figure , and are corresponding angles of lines and . They form the letter "."
If two lines which are parallel are intersected by a transversal then the pair of corresponding angles are equal. From Fig. 3: ∠1=∠6, ∠4=∠8, ∠2= ∠5 and ∠3= ∠7. The converse of this axiom is also true according to which if a pair of corresponding angles are equal then the given lines are parallel to each other.

The sum of two angles in a straight line is 180 degrees If one angle is 54 degrees then another angle will be 180-54=126 degrees. Q5 If the pair of corresponding angles are equal then lines are parallel.
Example 1: Determine if the lines p, q, and r are parallel. Solution: Here, the pair of corresponding angles are equal, that is 65° and the pair of alternate exterior angles are equal, that is 115°. Therefore, with the angles property of parallel lines, we can conclude that the lines p, q, and r are parallel. Example 2: l and m are two ...

What if two lines have equal corresponding angles?
If two lines have corresponding angles, then the two lines are parallel. Also, if two lines have alternative angles, then we can say that the two lines are parallel. Imgur. Now, imagine drawing a transversal (line \(\overleftrightarrow{PQ}\)) that meets perpendicularly with the two parallel lines, as shown in the figure above.
