Intersecting Lines
            Two lines l and m are said to be intersecting, if they pass through a common point P.
                                                                       m


                                                            P            l

            Examples of intersecting line segments:
            1.  Adjacent edges of a wall          2.  Addition symbol         3.  Diagonals of a square

            Two lines l and m are parallel, if they have no common            Lines in space that are
            point, i.e., these lines do not intersect or meet each other.     neither parallel not

            Examples of parallel lines:
            1.  Opposite sides of a          2.  Opposite edges of a         3.  Opposite edges of a

            Collinear Points

            Three or more points are said to be collinear, if they lie on a line.
                                                                                    Q

                                     Collinear points                      Non-collinear points
            Concurrent Lines

            Three or more lines are said to be concurrent if they pass through the same point.
