[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the bearing of point P from point O, we need to find the angle measured clockwise from north to the line segment joining O and P.

Let's assume that for this problem, the north direction is considered as the 0° bearing.

We will draw a diagram of points O and P with the given distances. Then, we will find the angle by using trigonometry.

By drawing the diagram, we can see that we have a right triangle, where the opposite side is 4 km (MP) and the adjacent side is 5 km (OM). We can find the angle by using the tangent function:

tan(angle) = Opposite/Adjacent
tan(angle) = 4/5
angle = arctan(4/5) ≈ 38.66°

Therefore, the bearing of point P from point O is 38.66°.
