An intersecting line is a line that passes through the intersection point of two other lines. We can think of them as lines that "meet" at a single point.
Non-intersecting lines, on the other hand, do not intersect. They are lines that do not meet at any point. Think of them as lines that are separated by a gap or a distance.
Examples:
Lines intersecting at a point: A, B, and C form a line, and A, B, and D are also on a line.
Lines not intersecting: A and B are two lines, and C and D are also two lines.
Lines parallel to each other: Two lines are parallel if they are in the same direction and do not intersect.
Lines perpendicular to each other: Two lines are perpendicular if they are at right angles to each other.
Remember:
The distance between two intersecting lines is called the length of the intersection.
The distance between two lines that are not intersecting is called the distance between the lines.
Intersecting lines can have different slopes, depending on the angles they form
