Summary Parallel lines are lines that never meet. Perpendicular lines meet at right angles. A transversal is a line that intersects 2 or more (parallel) lines. Parallel lines cut by a transversal form 8 angles. Pairs of angles will be either congruent or supplementary. Special pairs of angles will be congruent.
