Question

parallel lines are characterized by which property?
a. they never meet
b. they intersect at right angles
c. they are always of equal length
d. they converge at a single point

Explanation:

Parallel lines are defined as lines in a plane that do not meet; they have the same slope and will never intersect, no matter how far they are extended. Option b describes perpendicular lines (intersecting at right angles). Option c is incorrect as parallel lines can be of any length. Option d describes intersecting lines (converging at a single point). Only option a aligns with the definition of parallel lines.

Answer:

A. They never meet
