  Transversal line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, a transversal line is a line going through two or more other coplanar lines at different points.
Normally, in discussions of a transversal line, the two lines are not only coplanar, but also parallel.
This leads to the relationships shown in the picture; interior angles add up to 180 degrees, exterior angles add up to 180 degrees, and corresponding angles (angles in the same position, also referred to as alternate angles) are congruent.

Traditionally, the lines are called x (drawn from left to right, with positive direction to the right of the origin) and y (drawn from bottom to top, with positive direction upward of the origin).
The slope of the line y = mx + b is the rate at which y is changing per unit of change in x.

 Working with Angles
When two lines meet (such as A and B in Fig.3), the size of the angle between them can be thought of as the amount of turning that is required to make one line lie on top of the other.
Whenever parallel lines (or line segments) are intersected by a transversal, the size of corresponding angles is equal.
When two lines are parallel, this is often shown by marking a small arrowhead on each line, as on the lines AB and CD in Fig.19 above.
