use the proof information and image below to match each statement to the correct reason.

1. statement 2: as shown in the diagram, \\( \angle 5 \\) and \\( \angle 6 \\) are a \\( \underline{\quad\quad} \\) pair.

a. linear
b. complementary
c. vertical

Explanation:

• A linear pair of angles is formed when two adjacent angles form a straight line.
• Complementary angles add up to \(90^{\circ}\).
• Vertical angles are opposite angles formed by the intersection of two lines.
• In the diagram, \(\angle5\) and \(\angle6\) are adjacent and form a straight line.

Answer:

A. linear
