ANSWER:
________

Line q = 3
Line v = -1/2

FORMULA
__________

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

EXPLANATION:
_____________

First, we need to find the slope for line a only

We need to select two points from line q. The ones I selected are (-3,18) and (2,33)

y2 = 33
y1 = 18

x2 = 2
x1 = -3

33 - 18 = 15
2 - -3 = 5

15/5 = 3

Next, we need to find the slope for line v.

The two points I picked are (0,8) and (10,3)

y2 = 8
y1 = 3

x2 = 0
x1 = 10

8 - 3 = 5
0 - 10 = -10

5/-10 = -1/2

And that’s how you get your answer :)
