See my previous answer to this same question. the vertical angles have to be right angles

To solve this, we need to know what vertical angles and what supplementary angles are. Vertical angles are each of the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines. And, by the Vertical Angles Theorem, we know that they have the same measure. Now onto supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are angles that add up to 180 degrees.

Let's say that one of the vertical angles is equal to x. That means that the other one is also equal to x, and their sum is 2x. Since we are trying to find out a situation where vertical angles are supplementary, or equal to 180 degrees, that means that 2x is equal to 180 degrees. This is satisfied <em>only </em>when x = 90 degrees, meaning that vertical angles are supplementary when they are right angles.

I could not get it to work with all of those numbers. The only number that caused an issue was 29. I used 28 instead and it worked. I'm not sure if 29 was a typo, but I couldn't get 29 to work.

Why is this graph proportional?

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The graph represents a linear function that passes through the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional functions can be represented by $y=kx$ , where $k$ is some constant. They form a straight line that always pass through the origin (0,0). We can see all these characteristics in the graph, thus the graph is proportional.
