Which lines are parallel if mangle4 = mangle5? Justify your answer.

An image with four lines that intersect in pairs is shown.
Lines r is above line s. Lines r and s each intersect lines l and m.
line l is left of line m.
8 angles are labeled with numbers.

Angle 1 is above line r and left of line l.
Angle 2 is above line r and right of line l.
Angle 3 is below line r and left of line l.
Angle 4 is below line r and right of line l.

Angle 5 is above line s and left of line l.
Angle 6 is above line s and right of line l.

Angle 7 is above line r and left of line m.
Angle 8 is below line r and left of line m.

If mangle4 = mangle5, it means that Angle 4 is congruent to Angle 5.

Since Angle 5 is above line s and left of line l, and Angle 6 is above line s and right of line l, we can conclude that line l is parallel to line s.

Therefore, line r is also parallel to line m because lines r and s each intersect lines l and m.

So, the lines that are parallel are line l and line s.
