Some facts#

Two lines k and l are parallel if they have identical line scope:

$\begin{aligned} k: y & = \boxed {a} ~ x + b_1 \\ l: y & = \boxed {a} ~ x + b_2 \end{aligned}$
where:
- a - line scope, the same for both straight lines,
- b₁ - free coefficient of the first straight line,
- b₂ - free coefficient of the second straight line.
Two lines k and l are perpendicular if line scope of the first is negative inverse of the second one:

$a_1 = - \dfrac{1}{a_2}$

$\begin{aligned} k: y & = \boxed{a} ~ x + b_1 \\ l: y & = \boxed{- \dfrac{1}{a}} ~ x + b_2 \end{aligned}$
where:
- a - scope of the first line,
- b₁ - free coefficient of the first straight line,
- b₂ - free coefficient of the second straight line.

If lines are parallel, then they have no common point. Colloquially, one never crosses another one.
If lines are not parallel, then they intersect exactly once in the point with below coordinates:

$\begin{cases} P_x = \dfrac {b_2 - b_1}{a_1 - a_2} \\ P_y = a_1 ~ \dfrac{b_2 - b_1}{a_1 - a_2} + b_1 \end{cases}$
where:
- a₁ - scope of the first line,
- a₂ - scope of the second line,
- b₁ - free coefficient of the first straight line,
- b₂ - free coefficient of the second straight line.
To calculate the measure of angle created between straight lines we can use the following formula:

$\alpha = \arctan\left(\left| \dfrac{a_2 - a_1}{1 + a1 ~a2} \right| \right)$
where:
- $\alpha$ - angle measure between lines,
- $a_1$ - scope of the first line,
- $a_2$ - scope of the second line.
