When two straight lines intersect, the pairs of nonadjacent angles in opposite posi-tions are known as vertical angles.
If a segment AB is intersected by a transversal labeled t, then ∠1 and ∠3 and ∠2 and ∠4 are vertically angles formed by the transversal t on the segment AB.
Angles ∠1 and ∠2 can be described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so .
Angles ∠3 and ∠2 can be also described as adjacent and supplementary angles, so .
Subtract from the first equation the second equation:.
Similarly you can prove that .

Explanation:
We can find the slope by solving for y.
3x +2y +7 = 5x +3y +10
-2x -3 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -5x-10-2y to both sides of the equation
In this form, the slope (m) is the coefficient of x, -2. Hence m = -2.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
A graph of the equation shows it has an x-intercept of -1.5 and a y-intercept of -3. The slope (m) is then "rise" divided by "run", or ...
m = rise/run = -3/1.5
m = -2
