Are all linear pairs supplementary?

If they are linear pairs ,are they always supplementary? Or should they always be supplementary?

All linear pairs make a straight line (see "line" in "linear")
All straight lines are 180°
Two angles that add to 180° are supplementary
All linear pairs are supplementary

What if intersecting lines are not supplementary, are they still linear pairs?

Well the lines are not supplementary. The angles are. And two intersection lines always create four linear pairs of angles (draw a picture).
