An observer for a radar station is located at the origin of a coordinate system. For the point given, find the bearing of an
airplane located at that point. Express the bearing using both methods.
-$( 0 , - 7 )$
A) $0 ^ { \circ } ; \mathrm { S } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ or $\mathrm { S } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { E }$
B) $0 ^ { \circ } ; \mathrm { N } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ or $\mathrm { N } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { E }$
C) $180 ^ { \circ } ; \mathrm { N } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ or $\mathrm { N } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { E }$
D) $180 ^ { \circ } ; \mathrm { S } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { W }$ or $\mathrm { S } 0 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { E }$
