easy proof by contradiction
huh
Assume they are not parallel and then arrive at a contradiction.
Suppose you have two distinct lines that are perpendicular to a given line. assume that the two lines are not parallel. then eventually they will touch forming a triangle. But this triangle will have two right angles (since the two lines are perpendicular to the given line). But a triangle can't have two right angles...this is a contradiction. Thus the lines must be parallel.
