Default Find a variable such that two vectors are parallel

Let p = (2, k) and q = (3, 5). Find k such that p and q are parallel.

Should be easy to solve, and I have all the formulas here, but alas, no luck.

A second exercise is to find k such that the angle between p and q is pi / 3, but I suspect I will be able to solve that one once some kind person helps me figure out what I am doing wrong in the first one.
