Coincident lines...

paraleel

anonymous · Answer

parallel***

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

These lines actually sort of overlap each other. They are a junction of parallel and intersecting lines. They have infinite points of intersection but still have the same slope

anonymous · Answer

asymptotes?

If you meant that they touch at only one point, then they are called tangent as @UnkleRhaukus mentioned in his figure :)

But if they are straight lines with more than one common points, they they are coincident lines

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

If you meant what @UnkleRhaukus mentioned in his figure, then use the word "curve" than "line" at which the tangent is drawn

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

You would have noticed that Unkle Rhaukus, too used the word Curve.

Curve is not the same as a line. Line usually means a straight line :)

unklerhaukus · Answer

as @vishweshshrimali5 says
in mathematics `a line` usually means a straight line,

but i thought you could possibly have meant a `curved line`

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

Yup I agree with @UnkleRhaukus , perhaps you wanted to use some other word ?

vishweshshrimali5 · Answer

Well appears that OP has left

anonymous · Answer

Isn't a point of tangency still an intersection point?
