transversal
Corresponding and alternate angles
The figure shows a transversal intersecting two lines. The angles α and β are called corresponding angles and α and γ are called alternate angles. The given two lines are parallel if and only if corresponding angles are equal: they are also parallel if and only if alternate angles are equal.
The term ‘transversal' also relates to a line intersecting to other lines in higher-dimensional spaces.
