Use the image to answer the question.

Question

Two horizontal, parallel straight lines with arrows on either end are labeled a and b, respectively. Line a is above line b.

What is the precise definition of the figure in the image?

Option #1: two lines that intersects at a 90-degree angle

Option #2: two lines that never intersect and are the same distance apart

Option #3: two lines that intersect at a vertex point

(1 point)

Answer 1

The precise definition of the figure described in the image is:

Option #2: two lines that never intersect and are the same distance apart.

This describes parallel lines, which aligns with the characteristics of lines labeled a and b in the given scenario.
