Question

Which of the following is the symbol for parallel lines AB and XY?

Answer 1

Answer

A is the symbol for parallel lines AB and XY.

Explanation

B shows that line segment AB and XY are parallel, because there are no arrows, and line segments do not extend forever.

C shows that ray AB and XY are parallel, because there is one arrow, and rays only extend on one point.

Only A shows that line AB and XY are parallel. Lines extend forever, the A shows that AB and XY are parallel, since there are arrows in both directions above AB and XY.
