south
Indeed it is.
The cyclist ends up 1 mile east of the starting point (unless the cycling takes place near the north or south pole!). So the displacement is 1 mile in an easterly direction.
20m
80
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.

Yes, a position-time graph can tell you the direction of the displacement of an object. If the slope of the graph is positive, the object is moving in the positive direction. If the slope is negative, the object is moving in the negative direction.
south

2 km south
The distance traveled is the sum of the magnitudes of the two displacements: 15.0 m north + 11.0 m south = 4.0 m north. The magnitude of the displacement is the absolute difference between the initial and final positions: |15.0 m - 11.0 m| = 4.0 m.
The total displacement is 2km north, as the southward and northward displacements cancel each other out.
Indeed it is.
The total displacement of the dog from the starting point can be calculated by finding the net displacement, which is the difference between the distances moved in each direction. In this case, the net displacement would be 6m north - 4m south, resulting in a total displacement of 2m north.
What is the displacement of a car traveling 10 km north 5km east 15 km south and 5 km north?
