• Line segment

• Ray

• Line

• Point

What is the name for two lines that will never meet, no matter how far they are extended?

• Perpendicular lines

• Intersecting lines

• Parallel lines

• Transversal lines

Which of the following is a part of a line that has a fixed starting point but no end point?

• Line

• Ray

• Line segment

• Intersecting lines

Which of the following best describes intersecting lines?

• Lines that run next to each other and never cross

• Two or more lines that intersect at a particular point

• Lines that cross each other at a right angle

When two lines meet at a right angle (90 degrees), they are called what?

• Parallel lines
