hmmm what's a "linear pair"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

angles formed by intersecting lines

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... sorta not quite.... when two lines intersect.. they always make an angle of kinds linear angles are two angles that share a common line for example |dw:1405198281788:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so notice your picture, which pair are "supplementary angles" there then |dw:1405198387984:dw| that's just one.. .but there are others

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

in the choices given, what you're really asked is do those 2 angles given, are supplementary angles, pretty much that is, do they add up to 180 degrees and thus colinear and thus a linear pair

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

for example.. take a peek at the 1st choice EKF and FKG |dw:1405198629642:dw| so they don't, so choice A is not a "linear pair" see what you get for the others
