This is the definition of two lines being parallel. It is not a property to prove.

Explanation:

This property is called the parallel postulate. It is one of the five axioms in Euclidean geometry. Axiom is a statement that is defined to be true as a basis of mathematics.

Corresponding angles on parallel lines are equal.
