Symmetric property // Line Angle Relationships:


//, Alternate interior angles are congruent
Reflexive property
//, Alternate exterior angles are congruent Axioms:
5. Through any two points there exist exactly one
//, Corresponding angles are congruent (Postulate) line

//, Consecutive interior angles are supplementary 6. A line contains at least two points.

Converses: 7. If two lines intersect, then their intersection is


Corresponding angles Converse exactly one point.

8. Through any three noncollinear points there
