- "can be said to intersect at a point at infinity". (Penguin Dictionary of
Mathematics)
You may say it, but does it happen? Why should it?
Unless the gap between the two lines lessens, due to some cause, there
is no apparent reason why they will not remain parallel.
Presumably, "infinity" must justify its uniqueness...
Of course, if you can provide a proof!
