Lines P and Q are parallel . The slope of P is 5 and the slope of Q is 10/v. What is v ?

If the two lines are parallel, then the slopes of the two lines
are same.


The slope the line P is
5.


Therefore the sope of the line Q is also
5.


The slope of the line Q is given  to be
10/v.


Therefore 10/v  shoul be equal to
5.


Therefore 10/v = 5. We solve  this equation for v to find the
value of v:


10/v = 5.


Taking the
reciprocal of both sides, we get:


v/10 =
1/5.


We multiply both sides by 10:


v =
10/5= 2.


Thereore the the value of  v = 2.
