Chapter: 6

What Are Lines And Angles ?

Collinear And Non-collinear Points

  • If three or more points lies on the same line then they are called collinear points.
  • It the points are not collinear then we can say they are non-collinear points.
  • Two points are always collinear.

Parallel And Intesecting Lines

  • Two lines are said to be intersecting, if they intersect each other at one point.
  • Lines which do not intersect are called parallel lines.

An Important Fact

Lines which are parallel to the same line, are parallel to each other.

Some Important Facts

  • If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of the adjacent angles so formed is 180°, i.e., the sum of the linear pair of angles is 180°.
  • If two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles are equal.
