(mph). Which statement best describes the meaning of the equation V(20) – V(10) = -5?
A) In a period of 5 minutes, the wind speed increased from 10 mph to 20 mph.
B) The wind speed decreased by 5 mph between 6:10 p.m. and 6:20 p.m.
C) The wind speed increased by 5 mph between 6:10 p.m. and 6.20 p.m.
D) In a period of 5 minutes, the wind speed decreased from 20 mph to 10 mph.
