Based on the definition of supplementary angles and linear pair, a counterexample to the statement is: option B.

<h3>What are Supplementary Angles?</h3>

If two angles add up to give 180 degrees, they are regarded as supplementary angles.

<h3>What is a Linear Pair?</h3>

A linear pair is two adjacent angles that share a common side on a straight line, and have a sum of 180 degrees. Linear pair angles are supplementary angles.

In the image given, figure D is a perfect example of a linear pair that are supplementary.

However, in figure B, we have two angles that are not adjacent angles on a straight line but are supplementary angles.

Therefore, a counterexample to the statement is: option B.

Graph (x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 9

Alex787 [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=9$

First thing we need to keep in mind is the fact that this graph is indeed a circle. We know this because we are adding two cubic roots to each other which makes the graph a circle. We know the two separate functions are cubic roots because they each have an exponent of two. Not only is this function whose graph is a circle, but the midpoint of this circle is (2,2).

Hope this helps.
