A pilot is flying from Daytona Beach to Prescott. The two cities are 1874 miles away from one another and the angle from Daytona Beach

A pilot is flying from Daytona Beach to Prescott. The two cities are 1874 miles away from one another and the angle from Daytona Beach to Prescott is W28N. At takeoff, there is a 12 mph wind blowing N37E that blows constantly throughout the entire 4-hour flight. At what angle should the pilot leave Daytona Beach to fly in a straight line and land in Prescott?

What are "W28N" and "N37E" and how do they pertain to angle and wind? Do these calculate to a specific degree (0-360)? I have been flying for a long time but have never used this format for anything. I'm also confident ATC doesn't use this format either.

Is there a calculation for determining flight path corrected for wind speed and direction and if so, what is it?
