Two boats leave the same port at the same time. One travels at a speed of 28 mi/h in the direction N 50° E, and the other travels at a speed of 26 mi/h in a direction S 70° E (see the figure). How far apart are the two boats after 1 h? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3

-5, your answer was correct

what is the question?

we need to see the graph to know but

strong positive is if it is going up from left to right in a straight diagonal line (like this /)

strong negative is the same but from right to left (like this \)

weak negative is the same as strong negative but its more straight line still right to left

and weak positive is the same as strong positive but more a straight line still left to right though.
