1. Mr. Williams constructed a line through point P that is parallel to a second line as shown below.
Which geometric principle is used to justify the construction?
A. A line perpendicular to one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to the other.
B. Two lines are perpendicular if they intersect to form congruent adjacent angles.
C. When two lines are intersected by a transversal and alternate interior angles are congruent,
the lines are parallel.
D. When two lines are intersected by a transversal and the corresponding angles are
congruent, the lines are parallel.
