Explanation:

Question 9

Step1: Analyze angle y

Angles on a straight line sum to \(180^\circ\). So, \(y + 95^\circ= 180^\circ\), which gives \(y = 180^\circ - 95^\circ = 85^\circ\)? Wait, no, wait—wait, actually, if the lines are parallel (the two slanted lines seem parallel, and the transversal), then corresponding angles or alternate interior? Wait, no, first, adjacent angles on a straight line: the \(95^\circ\) and \(y\) are adjacent? Wait, no, looking at the diagram, the two lines (the transversal and the other) form a linear pair? Wait, no, maybe vertical angles or corresponding. Wait, actually, the \(95^\circ\) and \(x\): if the two slanted lines are parallel, then \(x\) and \(95^\circ\) are corresponding angles? Wait, no, maybe \(y\) and \(95^\circ\) are supplementary? Wait, no, let's re-examine.

Wait, the first diagram: two parallel lines (the ones with arrows) cut by a transversal. The angle given is \(95^\circ\), and \(y\) is adjacent to it? Wait, no, actually, \(y\) and \(95^\circ\) are supplementary? Wait, no, if they are on a straight line, then \(y + 95^\circ = 180^\circ\), so \(y = 85^\circ\)? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe \(y\) and \(95^\circ\) are vertical angles? No, vertical angles are equal. Wait, maybe the lines are parallel, so \(x\) is equal to \(95^\circ\) (corresponding angles), and \(y\) is supplementary to \(95^\circ\) (linear pair). Wait, let's check the options.

Option d: \(x = 95^\circ\), \(y = 85^\circ\). Wait, but let's do step by step.

Step1: Find y

Angles on a straight line sum to \(180^\circ\). So \(y + 95^\circ = 180^\circ\) → \(y = 180 - 95 = 85^\circ\). Wait, no, that would make \(y = 85\), but then \(x\): if the two lines are parallel, then \(x\) is equal to \(95^\circ\) (corresponding angles). So \(x = 95^\circ\), \(y = 85^\circ\), which is option d? Wait, no, option d is \(x = 95\), \(y = 85\). Wait, but let's check the options again.

Wait, option d: \(x = 95^\circ\) and \(y = 85^\circ\). Let's confirm:

• \(y\) and \(95^\circ\) are supplementary (linear pair), so \(y = 180 - 95 = 85\).
• \(x\) and \(95^\circ\) are corresponding angles (since the lines are parallel), so \(x = 95^\circ\). So that's option d.

Answer:

d. \( x = 95^\circ \) and \( y = 85^\circ \)

Question 10 (assuming we need to find x and y, but the diagram is a bit unclear; let's assume it's a right angle or something, but maybe the diagram has a right angle? Wait, the diagram shows a \(106^\circ\) angle, \(y^\circ\), and \(x^\circ\), with a right angle? Wait, maybe \(y\) and \(106^\circ\) are supplementary (linear pair), so \(y = 180 - 106 = 74^\circ\), and then if there's a right angle, \(x + y + 90^\circ = 180^\circ\)? Wait, no, maybe the triangle is a right triangle? Wait, the diagram has a right angle (the corner with the arrow). So:

Step1: Find y

\(y + 106^\circ = 180^\circ\) (linear pair) → \(y = 180 - 106 = 74^\circ\).

Step2: Find x

Assuming the triangle is a right triangle (since there's a right angle symbol), then \(x + y + 90^\circ = 180^\circ\) (sum of angles in triangle). So \(x + 74 + 90 = 180\) → \(x = 180 - 74 - 90 = 16^\circ\)? Wait, but maybe the diagram is different. Wait, maybe the two lines form a right angle with the other line. Alternatively, maybe \(x\) and \(y\) are related. Wait, the problem is not fully shown, but assuming it's a right triangle with one angle \(106^\circ\) (supplementary to \(y\)) and right angle, then:

\(y = 180 - 106 = 74^\circ\)

\(x = 90 - 74 = 16^\circ\)? Wait, but maybe the diagram is different. Alternatively, if it's a straight line and a right angle, but without the full diagram, it's hard. Wait, maybe the original problem for 10 is to find x and y, with the \(106^\circ\) angle, \(y\) as vertical or supplementary, and \(x\) as complementary. But since the user's image cuts off, maybe we can't proceed. However, for question 9, the answer is d.
