Solve the problem.The wind is blowing at 10 knots. Sailboat racers look for a sailing angle to the 10-knot wind that produces maximum sailing speed. In this application, (r, ?) describes the sailing speed r, in knots, at angle ? to the 10-knot wind. Four points in this 10-knot-wind situation are (6.5, 65°), (7.5, 85°),  and . Based on theses points, which sailing angle to the 10-knot wind would you recommend to a serious sailboat racer? What sailing speed is achieved at this angle?

A. 85°; 7.5 knots
B. 65°; 6.5 knots
C. 110°; 7.6 knots
D. 135°; 7.4 knots
