Imagine two boats. One travels 5.0 m/s eastward relative to the earth and the other 3.4 m/s eastward relative to the earth. We set up a reference frame on each boat with the x axis pointing eastward, and choose the first boat (arbitrarily) to be the Home Frame. The second boat is thus the Other Frame. What is the sign of ?, according to the convention established in this chapter?

A. Positive B. Negative C. We are free to choose either sign.
