Parallel lines never meet. (:

chmvijay · Answer

really ?

whitemonsterbunny17 · Answer

Yes, parallel lines, as shown in this figure, they do not intersect.

anonymous · Answer

mathematical proof
assume lines y1 and y2 are parallel
therefore they have the same slope
y1 = mx + b
y2 = mx + c
we try to find a point of intersection:
y1 = y2
mx + b = mx + c
the solution here is always extraneous, if b is not equal to c then there is no solution

@bloopman  i didn't get that :)  it is true @Whitemonsterbunny17

in Euclidean space 2 parallel lines never meet... but if you're in Non Euclidean space... who cares...

campbell_st · Answer

what is i person is named parallel and another person is names lines... 

they could meet at a party....

campbell_st · Answer

oops what if

ganeshie8 · Answer

By definition "parallell lines" means lines that don't meet in any kind of geometry, right ? (leave projections)

anonymous · Answer

that doesn't make sense, they'd both have to be named "parallel line"

chmvijay · Answer

i heard that they meet at infinity ? hows that possible :P

well it might be 1018 Infinity Steet Euclid...

campbell_st · Answer

well its Mr Parallel and Ms Lines... 

they can meet at a party....

astrophysics · Answer

"For example, you can take the usual points of the plane and attach to them an additional point called "infinity" and consider all lines to also include this additional point. In this context, there is a single "infinity" location where all lines meet. In a geometry like this, all lines intersect at infinity, in addition to any finite point where they might happen to meet."

campbell_st · Answer

well Mr Parallel met Mr Lines...

astrophysics · Answer

Seems like they just made that up, I don't think they ever meet in geometry.

campbell_st · Answer

why, they could meet in Geometry 101
