Coordinate Shifts 617770
1. The problem involves interpreting directions given in degrees east/west and north/south relative to specific islands (Dominica and Grenada).
2. Each direction can be translated into coordinate changes: east and west affect longitude, north and south affect latitude.
3. For example, "0.1 degrees east and 2.9 degrees south of Dominica" means moving 0.1 degrees longitude east and 2.9 degrees latitude south from Dominica's coordinates.
4. The same logic applies to the other points: west means subtract from longitude, east means add to longitude; north means add to latitude, south means subtract from latitude.
5. Without exact coordinates of Dominica and Grenada, we can only describe the relative position changes, not absolute coordinates.
6. The problem likely asks to identify which of the four options corresponds to a specific location on the map segment.
7. To solve, one would start from Dominica or Grenada's known coordinates, then apply the given shifts in latitude and longitude.
8. This is a practical application of coordinate geometry and understanding of geographic directions.
Final answer: The first option (a) corresponds to moving 0.1 degrees east and 2.9 degrees south of Dominica, which means increasing longitude by 0.1 and decreasing latitude by 2.9 from Dominica's position.
