Explanation:

Question 15

Step1: Recall parallel lines slope property

Parallel lines have equal slopes. For two lines with slopes \(m_1\) and \(m_2\), if they are parallel, \(m_1 = m_2\).

Step1: Recall perpendicular lines slope property

For two non - vertical perpendicular lines with slopes \(m_1\) and \(m_2\), the product of their slopes is \(- 1\), i.e., \(m_1\times m_2=-1\). If one line is vertical (undefined slope) and the other is horizontal (slope = 0), they are also perpendicular.

Step1: Define transversal and angles

A transversal is a line that intersects two or more other lines. When a transversal intersects two lines, it forms 8 angles: 4 angles at each intersection point. These angles include corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and consecutive interior angles (also known as same - side interior angles), along with vertical angles and linear pairs. But in terms of naming the 8 angles, we can consider the angles formed at each of the two intersection points. Let the two lines be \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) and the transversal be \(t\). At the intersection of \(t\) and \(l_1\), we have \(\angle1\), \(\angle2\), \(\angle3\), \(\angle4\) (in order around the intersection), and at the intersection of \(t\) and \(l_2\), we have \(\angle5\), \(\angle6\), \(\angle7\), \(\angle8\) (in order around the intersection).

Answer:

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.
