Question
Use the figure to answer the question.
An inclined transversal passes through two vertical parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of upper M are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 1, 2, 4, and 3. The corresponding angles formed around the intersection point of upper N are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 5, 6, 8, and 7.
Using facts about the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, what relationship can you establish between angle 5 and angle 1?(1 point)

In the scenario described, angle 5 is located on the upper side of line N and to the left, while angle 1 is located on the upper side of line M and also to the left, across from angle 5, but on a different parallel line. Since angles 1 and 5 are both situated outside the parallel lines (one above M and the other above N) and lie on opposite sides of the transversal (the inclined line), they are classified as alternate exterior angles.
Therefore, the correct answer is: alternate exterior angles.
