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.

Based on the given information, we can see that the slanted line RS intersects both horizontal lines P​S 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.
