top-right: a diagram shows two horizontal lines labeled $j$ and $k$ cut by a diagonal transversal, with angles $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ at the top intersection and $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$ at the bottom intersection; the goal is to prove $j \parallel k$.
center-right: a diagram shows two slanted parallel lines labeled $a$ and $b$ with a transversal and a vertical segment, with angles $1$, $2$, and $3$ marked near the intersections; the goal is to prove $\angle 1 \cong \angle 3$.
center-right: a diagram shows two horizontal lines labeled $l$ and $m$ cut by a diagonal transversal, with angles $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ at the top intersection and $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$ at the bottom intersection; the goal is to prove $\angle 4 \cong \angle 8$.
bottom-right: a diagram shows two diagonal lines labeled $r$ and $s$ crossing a horizontal line, with angles $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ above the line and $5$, $6$, $7$, $8$ below it; the goal is to prove $\angle 3 \cong \angle 6$.
1. **Problem 1:** Given $\angle 4$ and $\angle 7$ are supplementary, prove $j \parallel k$.
2. **Step 1:** Recall the definition of supplementary angles: two angles whose measures add up to $180^\circ$.
3. **Step 2:** Given $\angle 4$ supp $\angle 7$, so $m\angle 4 + m\angle 7 = 180^\circ$.
4. **Step 3:** By the property of interior supplementary angles formed by a transversal cutting two lines, if $\angle 4$ and $\angle 5$ are supplementary, and $\angle 5$ and $\angle 7$ are supplementary, then lines $j$ and $k$ are parallel.
5. **Step 4:** Since $\angle 4$ supp $\angle 5$ and $\angle 5$ supp $\angle 7$, by the Interior Angles Supplementary Theorem, $j \parallel k$.
6. **Final conclusion:** $j \parallel k$ is proven.
