Question

A = (5,-8) P = (43/4, -43/16), Calculate the angle of direction to go from A to P.

Answer 1

you need to break it down to x-components and y-components, then use trig to solve the angle. don't forget to use a reference for the angle such as east of north, west of south, etc, etc

Answer 2

Is it ok to use true bearings?

Answer 3

i suppose so

Answer 4

Could you please confirm that the answer is approximately 47.3* T, I am not very confident.

Answer 5

im pretty sure true bearings go counterclockwise from the x-axis

Answer 6

if memory serves

Answer 7

Oh..

Answer 8

or maybe i'm wrong, is it clockwise from north?

Answer 9

yes it is clockwise from north

Answer 10

Google says clockwise from north so probably lol.

Answer 11

So yes, true bearing is 47.3º
