    There are several types of lines including straight lines, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines. Straight lines extend infinitely in both directions between two points. Parallel lines never intersect and remain the same distance apart. Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles. When a transversal line cuts parallel lines, it forms pairs of angles including vertical angles that are congruent, supplementary angles whose measures sum to 180 degrees, and corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles that are congruent.

    TYPES OF LINES

    Straight line: A straight line is the shortest distance between any two points on a plane.
    More commonly, it is shown as a line with an arrow head on each end as shown below. The
    arrow heads mean that the line goes off to infinity in both directions.

    Lines are commonly named in two ways:

    1. By any two points on the line.


    In the figure above, the line would be called JK because it passes through the
    two points J and K. Recall that points are usually labelled with single upper-case
    (capital) letters. There is a shortcut way of writing this: This is read as "line
    JK". The two arrow heads indicate that this is a line which passes through J and
    K but goes on forever in both directions.

    2. By a single letter.
    The line above could also be called simply "y".This method is sometimes used
    when the line does not have two points on it to define it.

    Parallel lines: Two lines, both in the same plane, that never intersect are
    called parallel lines. Parallel lines remain the same distance apart at all times.
    The symbol // is used to denote parallel lines.
    Perpendicular lines

    Two lines that intersect and form right angles are called perpendicular lines. The
    symbol is used to denote perpendicular lines. In the first Figure , line l line m.
    Intersecting Lines: Two or more lines that meet at a point are
    called intersecting lines. That point would be on each of these lines. In the first Figure ,
    lines l and m intersect at Q.
    ANGLES FORMED WHEN A TRANSVERSAL CUTS TWO
    OR MORE PARALLEL LINES

    When two parallel lines are cut by a third line, the third line is called
    the transversal.

    In the example below, eight angles are formed when parallel lines m and n are
    cut by a transversal line, t.

    There are several special pairs of angles formed from this figure.
    Vertical pairs: 1 and 4
    2 and 3
    5 and 8
    6 and 7

    All pairs of vertical angles are congruent (identical).


    Supplementary pairs: 1 and 2
    2 and 4
    3 and 4
    1 and 3
    5 and 6
    6 and 8
    7 and 8
    5 and 7

    Recall that supplementary angles are angles whose angle measure adds up to
    180.

    Alternate interior angles two angles in the interior of the parallel lines, and
    on opposite (alternate) sides of the transversal. Alternate interior angles are
    non-adjacent and congruent.

    Alternate exterior angles two angles in the exterior of the parallel lines, and
    on opposite (alternate) sides of the transversal. Alternate exterior angles are
    non-adjacent (distant) and congruent (identical).

    Corresponding angles two angles, one in the interior and one in the exterior,
    that are on the same side of the transversal. Corresponding angles are non-
    adjacent (distant) and congruent (identical).
