Postulate 5: Through any 2 points there exists 1 line

Postulate 6: A line contains at least 2 points

Postulate 7: If 2 lines intersect, the intersection is a point

Postulate 8: Through any 3 noncollinear points there’s 1 plane

Postulate 9: A plane contains at least 3 noncollinear points

Postulate 10: If 2 points lie in a plane, the line containing them is in the plane

Postulate 11: Intersection of 2 planes is a line

Linear Pair: If 2 angles form a linear pair, they’re supplementary

Definitions:

Midpoint: Point dividing segment into two congruent segments

Angle bisector: Ray dividing angle to two adjacent, congruent angles

Vertical angles: Two angles w/ sides forming two pairs of opposite rays

Linear pair: Adjacent angles w/ non-common sides as opposite rays

Congruent: Have the same measure/length; they’re the same
