What do you think?

To determine the general direction you are traveling from 10 degrees south latitude by 140 degrees west longitude to 20 degrees north latitude by 105 degrees west longitude, you need to understand the concept of latitude and longitude.

Latitude measures the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian (which passes through Greenwich, London).

In this case, you are moving from a position with a lower latitude (10 degrees south) to a position with a higher latitude (20 degrees north). This indicates that you are moving in a primarily northward direction. Similarly, you are moving from a position with a higher value of longitude (140 degrees west) to a position with a lower value of longitude (105 degrees west). This indicates that you are moving in a primarily eastward direction.

Combining these two movements, we can determine that you are traveling in a northeast direction. Therefore, the general direction you are traveling is northeast.
