Question

which items have parallel lines? circle the items that have lines that will not touch.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of parallel lines

Parallel lines are lines in a plane that do not meet; they are always the same distance apart and will never touch.

Step2: Analyze each item

• The first item (crossed arrows): These lines intersect, so not parallel.
• The second item (two horizontal arrows): The lines (the shafts of the arrows) are horizontal and will not touch, so they are parallel.
• The third item (two slanted straight lines): These lines are straight, slanted, and appear to be equidistant, so they are parallel.
• The fourth item (curved arrows): These are curves, not straight lines, so not parallel.
• The fifth item (vertical straight lines): These vertical lines are equidistant and will not touch, so they are parallel.
• The sixth item (curved lines): These are curves, not straight lines, so not parallel.
• The seventh item (circle): This is a curve, not straight lines, so not parallel.
• The eighth item (three slanted straight lines): These lines are straight, slanted, and equidistant, so they are parallel.

Answer:

The items with parallel lines are: the two horizontal arrows, the two slanted straight lines, the vertical straight lines, and the three slanted straight lines. (Visually, you would circle these items: the second group (two horizontal arrows), the third group (two slanted lines), the fifth group (vertical lines), and the eighth group (three slanted lines))
