since both $Q$ and $R$ are at equal distance from $Y$ axis slopes have equal magnitudes here and are negative, so $v_{Q}=v_{R}$

At point $P$ slope is greater as compared to point $Q$ and $R$. Hence magnitude of velocity at point $P$ is greater than that at point $Q$ and $R$

Slope at point $Q$ and $R$ are equal. Hence particle velocities have same magnitude and same direction,
