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.

Indeed it is.
1 mile East

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.
Distance 2+3=5 displacement 2
The car has traveled a total distance of 18 miles (10 miles south + 8 miles north), but its displacement is 2 miles south. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, regardless of the actual path taken.
The displacement of the car is 5 km to the east.
The Phoenicians traveled to many countries at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. They first traveled to Egypt, then traveled along the north coast of Africa until they landed at the Phoenician colony of Carthage. Again they set sail, passing through the strait of Gibraltar and heading north along the coast of Spain, staying close to the coast of Europe, they finally steer for the remote island of Britain.

The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
