Ways to Prove Two Lines Parallel

Show that corresponding angles are equal. Show that alternative interior angles are equal. Show that consecutive interior angles are

supplementary. Show that consecutive exterior angles are

supplementary. In a plane, show that the lines are perpendicular to the

same line.
