Linear Pair
A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect.
The two angles of a linear pair are always supplementary, which means their measures add up to 180o. If a pair of angles is both adjacent and supplementary, they are said to form a linear pair. Learn more at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Geometry/Angles

Linear Pair Conjecture ... A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

Definition and properties of a linear pair of angles - two angles that are adjacent and supplementary ... In the figure above, the two angles ∠JKM and ∠LKM form a linear pair. They are supplementary because they always add to 180° and because they are adjacent, the two non-common legs form a straight line segment...
