A student writes an incorrect step while checking if the sum of the measures of the two remote interior angles of triangle ABC below is equal to the measure of the exterior angle. A triangle ABC is shown. The base of triangle extends into a straight line. The angle formed between this straight line and the edge of triangle is marked as d. The angle adjacent to w is marked as c, and the other two angles inside the triangle are marked as a and b.

Step 1: m∠a + m∠b + m∠c = 90 degrees (complementary angles)
Step 2: m∠d + m∠c = 180 degrees (supplementary angles)
Step 3: Therefore, m∠a + m∠b + m∠c = m∠d + m∠c
Step 4: So, m∠a + m∠b = m∠d

In which step did the student first make a mistake and how can it be corrected?

Step 1; it should be m∠a + m∠b + m∠c = 180 degrees (corresponding angles)
Step 1; it should be m∠a + m∠b + m∠c = 180 degrees (sum of angles of a triangle)
Step 2; it should be m∠d − m∠c = 90 degrees (alternate interior angles)
Step 2; it should be m∠d − m∠c = 90 degrees (adjacent angles)

If its non of them tell me..valerie took a day-trip. she drove from her house for a while and took a coffee break. after her coffee break, she continued driving. after  2  hours of driving after her coffee break, her distance from her house was  210  miles. her average speed during the whole trip was  60  miles per hour.valerie created the equation  y−210=60(x−2)  to represent this situation, where  xx  represents the time in hours from her coffee break and  yy  represents the distance in miles from her house.which graph correctly represents valerie's distance from her house after her coffee break?
