We know that angle MKJ is comprised of angle MKL and angle LKJ. That means if we add MKL and LKJ, we should get 80 degrees, which is the measure of angle MKJ.
So, we know that our x is 15. That is not enough to tell whether KL is an angle bisector, because we have to evaluate both MKL and LKJ with x=15, so:
So we see that these two angles are actually bisectors, and the third question best describes this phenomenon.
For this case we find the slopes of each of the lines:
The g line passes through the following points:
So, the slope is:
Line h passes through the following points:
So, the slope is:
By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. If the lines are perpendicular then the product of their slopes is -1.
It is observed that lines g and h are not parallel. We verify if they are perpendicular:
Thus, the lines are perpendicular.
Answer:
The lines are perpendicular.
