Question

identify the relationship between the pair of angles.
image of two parallel lines cut by a transversal, with angles x and y
options:

• vertical angles
• alternate exterior angles
• corresponding angles
• alternate interior angles

Explanation:

Vertical angles are pairs of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines, which are congruent. Angles \(x\) and \(y\) are opposite each other where the transversal crosses the lower parallel line, fitting this definition. Alternate exterior, corresponding, and alternate interior angles involve two parallel lines and a transversal but describe angle positions across both lines, which does not apply here.

Answer:

Vertical Angles
