## Problem

A bumblebee is flying to the right when a breeze causes the bee to slow down with a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 0, point, 50, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, squared, end fraction. After 2, point, 0, start text, s, end text, the bee is moving to the right with a speed of 2, point, 75, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction.
What was the velocity of the bumblebee right before the breeze?
Give the correct sign for your answer, using a coordinate system where rightward is positive.
Round the answer to two significant digits.
