Types of Lines

Types of lines:

Perpendicular lines:

When the angle of 90 degree on two lines that two lines are said to be as perpendicular lines. This perpendicular line is represented as ‘_’. The perpendicular line does not have any postulates but solve some theorems. They are perpendicular lines and slopes theorem, perpendicular to parallel theorem and two perpendiculars theorem.


Parallel lines:

The separate two coplanar lines are called as parallel lines that are this line does not intersect with each other. The distance between the two lines are equal and it is represented as | |. The parallel lines are illustrating the two postulates.

Corresponding angles postulate: The angles are same when the transversal is cut the two coplanar lines. So we can say that lines are parallel.

Parallel lines postulate: If the transversal cut the two parallel lines, the same measure angles are present.
