Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a geometry problem involving two parallel lines and a transversal. The question is:
1. If line \( m \parallel n \), which statement is true?
### Diagram Details:
- Two parallel lines, \( m \) and \( n \), are intersected by a transversal.
- The angles formed are labeled as \( a \), \( b \), \( c \), \( d \), \( e \), \( f \), and \( g \).
- Angle \( g \) is specified as \( 121^\circ \).
### Explanation:
When a transversal crosses parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles are equal, and consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
Here is a breakdown of the angles:
- \( \angle g = 121^\circ \)
- Corresponding angle to \( \angle g \) is \( \angle b \) (also \( 121^\circ \)).
- Alternate interior to \( \angle g \) is \( \angle e \).
- Angles \( \angle g \) and \( \angle f \) are supplementary (\( \angle g + \angle f = 180^\circ \)).
The solution requires identifying true statements regarding these relationships.

Transcribed Image Text:In the diagram, two intersecting lines form various angles labeled as \( a, b, c, d, e, f, \) and \( g \). A known angle \( \angle d \) measures 121°.
Next to the diagram, there is a multiple-choice question with the following options:
- \( m \angle c = 59^\circ \)
- \( m \angle e = 121^\circ \)
- Vertical angles are supplementary
- \( m \angle f = 121^\circ \)
The diagram illustrates the concept of vertical angles and linear pairs, where certain angles are congruent or supplementary based on their positions relative to each other.
