Use the figure to answer the question.
An inclined transversal passes through two vertical parallel lines labeled upper M and upper N. The angles formed around the intersection point of upper M are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 1, 2, 4, and 3. The corresponding angles formed around the intersection point of upper N are labeled clockwise, starting from the upper left quadrant: 5, 6, 8, and 7.

The correct relationship between angle 6 and angle 7 is alternate interior angles.
The relationship between angle 6 and angle 7 is that they are alternate interior angles.
To determine the relationship between angle 6 and angle 7 in the given figure, we need to identify the angle pair formed by the inclined transversal passing through the two vertical parallel lines labeled M and N.
In this case, angle 6 and angle 7 are formed by the inclined transversal and the vertical line N. They are on the opposite sides of the transversal and are located on different parallel lines.
When an inclined transversal crosses two parallel lines, the angles on opposite sides but located between the two parallel lines are known as alternate interior angles.
Hence, the correct answer is "alternate interior angles."
