Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a horizontal line with arrows at both ends. Another line with arrows at both ends extends from top right to bottom left and intersects the horizontal line in the center. The intersecting line creates 4 angles. The angle at the top left is labeled x degrees. The angle at top right is labeled y degrees. The angles at bottom left and right below the horizontal line are not labeled.
Use the relationship between supplementary angles to determine the value of y° if x°=125°.

To determine the value of y°, we need to use the relationship between supplementary angles. Supplementary angles are two angles that add up to 180 degrees when combined.
In the given illustration, we can see that the angle at the top left is labeled x°=125°. Because the intersecting line creates four angles, the angle at the top right must be supplementary to x°.
To find y°, we subtract x° from 180°:
180° - 125° = 55°
Therefore, the value of y° is 55 degrees.
