God loves you and has a plan for you!
I remember when I was banned for 6+ months several years ago and had an email exchange with chicken about how he wanted to keep religious topics of of his board.
Clearly...

The answer is K.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocal a of each other. Although the angles mentioned are congruent, this does not imply they are right angles and so knowing the slope intercept form of one equation will not give you sufficient information to determine the slope of the other line. Now if it said that the two angles were congruent right angles, the answer would be G.

We should develop our morality from reasoned well thought out discussions of right vs wrong, not some ancient books where the authors knew less about the world than 4th graders today.
which would also mean there is no devil.
You poor, blind fool. You honestly want a right and wrong based on the moral viewpoints of mankind? Wow.

Since we've had a couple of folks take a shot at answering the problem I posted, here is the correct answer(In the interest of relevancy, it should be noted that I did not get this answer from the Bible):
First, turn our given equation for line q into proper slope-intercept form.
-2x+y=1
y=2x+1
Now, we are told that the angles the lines form are congruent. This means that the slopes of the lines will be opposites of one another [Note: perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes, so do NOT get these concepts confused!].
Since we have already established that the slope of line q is 2, line r must have a slope of -2.
Our final answer is F, -2

You realize you already live most of your life under the morals established by society, right?
Let's just take one simply example...age of consent.
You ok with whatever would have been considered ok at the time of the writing of the various books tossed together to make The Bible? Pick either testament, by the way.
And I'm not talking LAW, I'm talking what YOU would be ok with.
ETA: BTW, feel free to find where RAPE, TORTURE, SLAVERY, CHILD ABUSE, CHILD MOLESTATION, etc are in the 10 Commandments. I realize that there are some other super important ones that needed to come first, like not talking god's name in vain, and no graven images, and no other gods, so I guess there maybe wasn't enough room for those trivial, mankind based moral laws though.

Scripture is meaningless to those who don’t believe in the divinity of the Bible. “Here, person who doesn’t believe in Jesus, is some scripture written by the person you don’t believe in via his Heavenly Father who you also don’t believe in”.

Using The Bible as evidence for supernatural claims made in The Bible is like using the Harry Potter series to show evidence for the existence of wizards.

I see you're familiar with my work. Yes, kids, you too can learn from these pages of colorful battle and rhyming inspiration on how I defeated the kill bots, looted the tarantulons, piled the ball sacks high, and got the sneetches to kill their own.

I disagree with your answer of -2. Take any known line with a known slope as we have in this case. There are an infinite number of lines with different slopes that intercept it, all forming congruent vertical angles of slightly different measures depending on the slope of the intercepting line. If the question had given us the measure of the congruent vertical angles we could have used trigonometry to find the slope of the intercepting line but without knowing that information, you can't.
Edit: never mind, I went back a page and looked...these are angles formed by the lines and the x axis, not vertical angles.

That's fine.
The question and the answer are both from the ACT.
-2 is the correct answer on the ACT.

An appropriate OP indeed. As I finish watching the funeral for the Reverend Billy Graham I wipe a tear for the family’s loss and I shed a tear of joy knowing that Mr. Graham is with the Savior, this is a very good day, praise be to Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life.
