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.
Image Long DescriptionThe slanted line intersects the horizontal lines at point upper R and point upper P. An arc is drawn to the right of upper P, intersecting both line upper P upper S and line upper R upper P. A smaller arc crosses the point where the larger arc intersects line upper P upper S. The angle within the arc with vertex P is labeled 1. An arc is drawn to the right of upper R, intersecting both line upper R upper Q and line upper R upper P. A smaller arc crosses the point where the larger arc intersects line upper R upper q. The angle within the arc with vertex R is labeled 2. The angle to the left of angle 2, which shares vertex R, is supplementary and is labeled 3.

In the context of the described diagram with two parallel horizontal lines (PS and RQ) and a slanted line (RS) intersecting them, the correct symbol to insert in the statement should indicate the relationship between the two lines.
Given that PS and RQ are parallel lines, the appropriate symbol to illustrate that relationship is the "parallel" symbol, which is represented as \(\parallel\).
Thus, the completed statement would be:
\( PS \parallel RQ \)
