In the study of motion, the definition of displacement is:

the change in position of a body in a given direction

the location of an object as taken from a certain direction

the distance travelled by an object that is moving in a straight line

The graph shows the displacement of a farmer on a motorcycle, riding to and fro along a boundary of his property whilst counting his livestock. At t = 120 s the farmer was:

heading south with a speed of 17 m/s

heading north with a speed of 17 m/s
