PDF chapter test TRY NOW

$m$ and

$n$ are any two non-parallel lines and

$l$ is another line intersecting them at

$A$ and

$B$ .

Such intersecting line (

$l$ ) is called as transversal line.

A transversal line is a line that intersects two lines at distinct points.

NOTE:

The line

$l$ is not a transversal to the lines

$m$ and

$n$ , but it is a transversal to the pair of lines

$m$ and

$o$ ,

$n$ and

$o$ .

Line

$l$ does not intersect the lines

$m$ and

$n$ at distinct points. So, it is not a transversal line.
