Parallel lines are lines that are equidistant from each other and never intersect no matter how far you extend them. When a transversal intersects parallel lines, the angles that result have special properties. The intersection will create corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, vertical angles, and consecutive interior angles. The shorthand notation for parallel lines is ||. For example we can say line segment AB is parallel to EF by writing AB || EF. Hope this helps! =)
