How did the Missouri Compromise help settle he issue of slavery in the western territories?

It was a remarkably effective law that somewhat quietened the debate and kept the peace for thirty years.
The Missouri Compromise represented the simple 'line in the sand' - it marked a single parallel as the frontier of slavery, and any territory North of that line would have to join the USA as free soil.
Neither side was totally satisfied with the arrangement, but at least both sides were equally dissatisfied! And the situation remained quite balanced, until it was upset by the prospect of California gaining statehood. This territory was simply too vast to be accommodated according to the Compromise, and a new one had to be worked out. The new one (Compromise of 1850) did not hold.
