Anyway, back to the diagram. The question tells you that JP=JK -what does that tell you about the triangle and it’s two missing angles?

The bottom two angles are 62
The bottom two angles are 62
Now you should be able use your knowledge of parallel lines to work out the bearing.
JP and North are parallel
