Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows two parallel slanting lines m and l intersecting a vertical line k. The angles formed at the intersection of lines l and k are 1, 2, 4, and 3. The angles 1 and 4 are opposite to each other while angles 2 and 3 are opposite to each other. The angles formed at the intersection of lines m and k are 5, 6, 8, and 7. The angles 5 and 8 are opposite to each other while angles 6 and 7 are opposite to each other.

To find m∠7, we can use the fact that angles 6 and 7 are vertical angles and therefore congruent. Since m∠6 = 140°, m∠7 must also be 140°.

Therefore, the correct response is: 140°
