Let's solve the problem by identifying each type of line shown in the image and matching it with the correct term from the word box.
Step-by-step Analysis:
We are given 8 different types of lines labeled
a) to h), and we need to name each one using the words provided in the box:
Words available:
- oblique
- perpendicular
- diagonal
- horizontal
- curved
- intersecting
- vertical
- zig zag
- parallel
---
Now let’s examine each one:
---
a)
This is a smooth, rounded line that bends.
✔ Answer: curved
---
b)
Two lines crossing each other at an angle (not necessarily 90°), forming an "X".
They
intersect, but not necessarily at right angles.
✔ Answer: intersecting
---
c)
A straight line going from top-left to bottom-right (or vice versa). It’s slanted.
This is a
diagonal line.
✔ Answer: diagonal
---
d)
A straight line going up and down — from top to bottom.
✔ Answer: vertical
---
e)
Two lines running side by side in the same direction, never meeting.
These are
parallel lines.
✔ Answer: parallel
---
f)
Two lines crossing at a right angle (90°), forming a cross (+).
This is a
perpendicular intersection.
✔ Answer: perpendicular
---
g)
A series of sharp, alternating back-and-forth lines.
This is a
zig zag pattern.
✔ Answer: zig zag
---
h)
A line that goes up, then down, forming a V-shape. This is a
V-shaped or
angular line, but more specifically, it's
oblique because it's slanted (not horizontal or vertical).
Note: “Oblique” refers to lines that are neither horizontal nor vertical, often slanted.
Since this line is made of two slanted segments, it fits
oblique.
✔ Answer: oblique
> Note: Some might argue for "zig zag", but
zig zag usually implies multiple sharp turns, like in 'g'. This one is just a single V, so
oblique is more appropriate.
