Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a conjecture

Looking at the values in the images given, we can see that these values when added give 180 degrees

A pair of angles that add up to be equal to 180 degrees are said to be supplementary

The question is now if the angles are adjacent or vertical angles

Angles formed by two intersecting lines are opposite each other vertically and are not adjacent to each other. In fact, they are called vertical angles

The correct answer choice is thus that;

The vertical angles formed by two intersecting lines are supplementary.
