Did the Missouri Compromise:

a. Draw a line in between slave and non-slave states **
B. Creates a slave state and non-slave state

In the years leading up to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, tensions began to rise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions within the U.S. Congress and across the country. They reached a boiling point after Missouri’s 1819 request for admission to the Union as a slave state, which threatened to upset the delicate balance between slave states and free states. To keep the peace, Congress orchestrated a two-part compromise, granting Missouri’s request but also admitting Maine as a free state. It also passed an amendment that drew an imaginary line across the former Louisiana Territory, establishing a boundary between free and slave regions that remained the law of the land until it was negated by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

I disagree with your answer for 7.

my answer is incorrect?

Sorry, I was referring to the previous answer. I believe Gadsden Purchase is right.

thanks! I got 100%!

I think the Missouri Compromise did both. It established a boundary between slave and non-slave (which did not work out all that well) and it also traded admission of Maine (free) for Missouri(slave).

Right.
