Q. How are parallel lines marked in figures?
Matching arrowheads are used to indicate parallel lines
Matching tick marks are used to indicate parallel lines
Any lines that do not intersect are assumed to be parallel
Any lines that intersect are assumed to be parallel
Figures cannot denote parallel lines, so it must be explicitly stated
Q. Which of the following is NOT true?
Parallel lines never intersect
