Question

linear pairs and vertical angles
marcus states that angle orp and angle lrp are a linear pair. which best describes his statement?
he is incorrect. ray ro and ray rl are not opposite rays.
he is correct. the angles share a common vertex so they are a linear pair.
he is correct. the angles share a common ray so they are a linear pair.
he is incorrect. angle orp does not form a linear pair with another angle in the diagram.

Explanation:

A linear pair requires two adjacent angles whose non - common sides are opposite rays. For ∠ORP and ∠LRP, ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays. So Marcus is incorrect. The first option correctly states this.

Answer:

He is incorrect. Ray RO and ray RL are not opposite rays.
