Take a look at the graphic below.
Corresonding angles are marked in green.
Interior angles are marked in red.
Alternate angles are marked in blue.
Corresponding angles are always equal (on a parallel line).
Alternate angles are always equal (on a parallel line)
Interior angles (on a parallel line) always add up to 180
