Parallel lines are important in discussions of Euclidian [[geometry]]. A [[postulate]] of Euclidean geometry is that given a line and a point, there is exactly one line through the point parallel to the original line. Non-Euclidian geometries allow for infinite or no parallel numbers of lines. | Parallel lines are important in discussions of Euclidian [[geometry]].
