The plane is pointed 5.7° W of N. This is because the airspeed is 200 mph and the wind speed is 20 mph. The plane is moving directly north, so the wind is blowing from the west. This means that the plane is being pushed to the east by the wind. The angle between the plane's airspeed and the wind speed is 5.7°.
