Lines
Two lines are parallel if they are in the same plane and do not ________. -This means the lines never touch-This means the lines have the same slope-This means the lines are always the same distance apart
-The symbol for parallel is two vertical lines (II). For example if line m and line t are parallel you could write m II t.

When a transversal intersects two lines, _____ angles are formed.eight
These angles are given special names.
tInterior angles lie between thetwo lines.
Exterior angles lie outside thetwo lines.
Alternate Interior angles are between the two lines on the opposite sides of the transversal.
Consectutive Interior angles between the two lines are on the same side of the transversal.
Alternate Exterior angles areoutside the two lines on the opposite sides of thetransversal.

When a transversal crosses two lines, the intersection creates a number ofangles that are related to each other.
Note 1 and 5 below. Although one is an exterior angle and the other is an interior angle, both lie on the same side of the transversal.
Angle 1 and 5 are called __________________. So <1=<5corresponding angles
