Question: Which angles are vertical angles? The diagram shows two intersecting lines at point $I$ and another pair of intersecting lines at point $F$, with labeled points $H$, $I$, $J$ on the left slanted line, $E$, $F$, $G$ on the right slanted line, and $K$, $I$, $F$, $D$ on the diagonal line. $\angle GFI$ and $\angle JIK$ $\angle HIK$ and $\angle GFI$ $\angle EFI$ and $\angle HIK$ $\angle HIF$ and $\angle JIK$
1. **Problem Statement:** Identify which pairs of angles are vertical angles from the given options. 2. **Definition:** Vertical angles are the pairs of opposite angles made by two intersecting lines. They are always equal. 3. **Step-by-step Analysis:** - At point $I$, two lines intersect, creating angles such as $\angle HIK$, $\angle JIK$, $\angle HIF$, and $\angle GFI$. - At point $F$, two lines intersect, creating angles such as $\angle GFI$, $\angle EFI$, and $\angle HIF$. 4. **Check each pair:** - $\angle GFI$ and $\angle JIK$: These angles are at different intersection points ($F$ and $I$), so they are not vertical angles. - $\angle HIK$ and $\angle GFI$: These angles are at different points ($I$ and $F$), so not vertical angles. - $\angle EFI$ and $\angle HIK$: Different points ($F$ and $I$), so not vertical angles. - $\angle HIF$ and $\angle JIK$: Both angles share vertex $I$ and are opposite each other formed by intersecting lines at $I$, so these are vertical angles. 5. **Conclusion:** The pair of vertical angles is $\boxed{\angle HIF \text{ and } \angle JIK}$.
