🗑
Parallel planes   Planes that do not intersect.  
🗑
Transversal   Is a line that intersects two coplanar lines at two different points.  
🗑
Corresponding angles   Lie on the same side fo the transversal ( one on the interior and the other on the exterior). They are congruent.  
🗑
Alternate interior angles   Are non adjacent angles that lie on the opposite sides of the transversal. They are congruent.  
🗑
Alternate exterior angles   Lie on the opposite side of the transversal. They are congruent  
🗑
Same-side interior angles   Lie on the same side of the transversal. and the measure of the angles is equal , add up to 180°  
🗑
Corresponding Angle Postulate   If two lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of corresponding angles are congruent.  
🗑
Alternate interior angles theorem   If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then the pairs of alternate interior angles are congruent.  
🗑
Alternate exterior angles theorem   When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent .  
🗑
Same side interior angles theorem   when two lines that are parallel are intersected by a transversal line, the same-side interior angles that are formed are supplementary, or add up to 180 degrees.  
🗑
Parallel Postulate   Through a point p not on line l, there is exactly one line parallel to l  
🗑
Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem   If two coplanar lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of alternate interior angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.

Converse of the Corresponding Angle Postulate   If two coplanar lines are cut by a transversal so that a pair of corresponding angles are congruent, then the two lines are parallel.  
🗑
Linear Pair Theorem   If two angles form a linear pair then they are supplementary.  
🗑
Parallel lines theorem   In a coordinate plane, two non vertical lines are parallel if and only if they have the same slope. Any two vertical lines are parallel.

🗑
Slope   Is a line that describes the steepness of the line.
