Introduction
Recall that if two straight lines are not parallel, they meet at a point when produced. Observe lines l and m which meet at a point (O). In the diagram, l and m are called intersecting lines. O is called the point of intersection. Similarly two line segments or two rays may intersect at a..
Question 4
Question: In the adjoining figure, OA and OB are opposite rays. (i) If x=75 o , what is the value of y? (ii) If y=110 o , what is the value of x? Answer: (i) If x=75 o then x+y=180 o ( Linear pair) 75 o +y=180 o y=180 o -75 o y=105 o (ii) If y=110 o..
Note:
The term parallel is also applied to Line segments and Rays when the lines they determine are parall..
Rectangular coordinate system
The position of a point in a plane is determined by two coordinates. The method is as follows: Two mutually perpendicular lines (straight lines) XX' and YY' are drawn as shown in the figure. These straight lines are termed as coordinate axes, the one (usually drawn horizontally) is called the x-axi..

Bisector of an angle
If a ray or a straight line passing through the vertex of that angle, divides the angle into two angles of equal measurement, then that line is known as the Bisector of that angle. ..
