Use the image to answer the question.
Two parallel horizonal lines, line upper P upper S and line upper R upper Q, extend indefinitely in both directions. A slanted line, upper R upper S, intersects both horizontal lines and extends indefinitely in both directions.
The diagram shows the final step of a construction. Insert the symbol that makes the statement true.

The slope of PS←→
the slope of RQ←→
.
Based on the given information, we can see that the slanted line RS intersects both horizontal lines PS and RQ. Therefore, the slope of PS bisymbolizes the slope of RQ by the symbol "+/-".
explain
Apologies for the confusion. Since the given diagram does not provide any numerical values or specific measurements, we cannot determine the exact slope of the lines PS and RQ.
However, we can make an observation about the relationship between the slopes of PS and RQ. Since the slanted line RS intersects both PS and RQ, it means that the slopes of PS and RQ are equal.
In other words, if we denote the slope of PS as m1 and the slope of RQ as m2, then we can say that m1 = m2.
Without the actual image, it is not possible for me to determine the specific slope values or symbols that should be inserted. However, based on the information provided, the slope of line PS should be equal to the slope of line RQ. So the symbol that would make the statement true is the equal sign (=).
To determine the slope of PS (line PS) and RQ (line RQ), we can look at the diagram provided.
In the diagram, we see that the lines PS and RQ are parallel to each other. This means that their slopes are the same.
To find the appropriate symbol to make the statement true, we need to compare the slopes of line PS and line RS (the slanted line that intersects both PS and RQ).
By examining the diagram, we can determine that the slope of PS (line PS) is equal to the slope of RS (line RS), as they are parallel. Therefore, we can insert the equal symbol "=" to make the statement true:
The slope of PS ←→ the slope of RQ ←→ =
