1. **State the problem:** We are given that $m \angle 1 = 79^\circ$ and need to find the measures of $\angle 2$, $\angle 3$, and $\angle 4$ formed by two intersecting lines.
2. **Recall the properties of intersecting lines:** When two lines intersect, opposite (vertical) angles are equal, and adjacent angles are supplementary (sum to $180^\circ$).
3. **Identify vertical angles:**
- $\angle 1$ and $\angle 3$ are vertical angles, so $m \angle 3 = m \angle 1 = 79^\circ$.
- $\angle 2$ and $\angle 4$ are vertical angles, so $m \angle 2 = m \angle 4$.
4. **Find $m \angle 2$ and $m \angle 4$ using supplementary angles:**
- $\angle 1$ and $\angle 2$ are adjacent and supplementary, so
$$m \angle 1 + m \angle 2 = 180^\circ$$
$$79^\circ + m \angle 2 = 180^\circ$$
$$m \angle 2 = 180^\circ - 79^\circ = 101^\circ$$
- Since $m \angle 2 = m \angle 4$, we have $m \angle 4 = 101^\circ$.
5. **Final answers:**
$$m \angle 2 = 101^\circ$$
$$m \angle 3 = 79^\circ$$
$$m \angle 4 = 101^\circ$$
