Parallel lines go the same way and are always the same distance from each other (eg you and a mate walking side by side).
Skew lines pass each other but don't meet, eg when you walk under a bridge and the train passes over. You are heading different ways, but you don't actually (just pass by)

Are a line and a plane that do not intersect always sometimes or never skew?
A line and a plane that do not intersect are always skew. Skew refers to two or more lines or planes that are not parallel and do not intersect. Since a line and a plane are different-dimensional objects, they will never intersect and will always be skew.
Are two skew lines ever parallel?
They could be if they are both skew to the same line.
Is a y a parallel line?
No, "y" is not a parallel line because the lines are not perpendicular to each other. "Y" is a skew line.
What is skew in fabric?
Skew is an alteration in the construction of the fabric. It is an oblique or angled slant that is not parallel or intersecting a specified line.
Are two lines skew to the same line are skew to each other?
Yes, but not all of them, some of them are either parallel or perpendicular.
Are skew lines never parallel?
Correct! Skew lines can never by be parallel.
What is the geometric symbol for skew lines?
Two non-parallel lines in space that do not intersect are called skew lines. The skew line symbol is a short horizontal bar above the two identifying letters.
Are parallel lines also called skew lines?
No. Skew lines are lines in different planes that are parallel.
When are two lines in intersecting planes skew?
Each line can either intersect the edge which is common to the two planes at some point or be parallel to it. If the two lines intersect the edge, but at different points, then the lines are skew. If only one of the lines intersects the edge, then again the lines are skew. If neither of them intersect, then the two lines are parallel to the same edge and so they are parallel to one another so not skew.
Skew lines and parallel lines exactly the same?
Skew lines are not parallel. Parallel lines are across from each other in some way and are exactly parallel.
Are two lines that do not intersect skew?
Two lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew. If the non-intersecting lines are in the same plane then they are parallel.
Are skew lines parallel?
No. If they are parallel, then a plane exists which both lines lie in. Skew lines can not be on the same plane.
