Two angles are a \emph{linear pair} if the angles are adjacent and the two unshared rays form a line. Below is an example of a linear pair:
\begin{center}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(5,3)
\psline{<->}(0,0)(5,0)
\psline{->}(2.5,0)(4,3)
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
The \emph{linear pair postulate} states that two angles that form a linear pair are \PMlinkname{supplementary}{Supplementary2}.
