The given changes in direction indicate a consistent rotation. If South-east (SE) is called East (E), North-west (NW) is called West (W), and South-west (SW) is called South (S), let’s determine the type and magnitude of the rotation.
– South-east (SE) to East (E) is a 90-degree clockwise rotation.
– North-west (NW) to West (W) is a 90-degree clockwise rotation.
– South-west (SW) to South (S) is a 90-degree clockwise rotation.
The rule is a 90-degree clockwise rotation of the compass points.
Applying this rule to North (N), a 90-degree clockwise rotation from North results in East (E).

– Identify the pattern of change in the given directions.
– Recognize the rotation (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and its magnitude (degrees).
– Apply the established rotation rule to the direction asked (North).

The standard eight compass points in clockwise order are N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. A 90-degree clockwise rotation maps each direction to the one two positions ahead in this sequence (e.g., N -> E, NE -> SE, E -> S, etc.).
