The figure shown has two parallel lines cut by a transversal: A pair of parallel lines is shown, crossed by a transversal. Angles are identified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Angles 1-4 are on the top line clockwise from upper left. Angles 5-8 are on the lower line clockwise from upper left. Use the figure to complete the sentence. ∠7 and are alternate exterior angles. ∠2 ∠1 ∠5 ∠8

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate exterior angles are a pair of angles which are located on the opposite side of the transversal, outside the two parallel lines.

From the figure given, you would see that <7 and <1 lie on opposite side of the transversal and they lie on the outside of the two parallel lines that are cut across by the transversal.

Therefore:

<7 and <1 are alternate exterior angles.

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
