Answer:

-7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement is a vector connecting the initial position of motion of an object to its final position.

For the car in this problem, we have:

- Initial position: + 11 m

- Final position: + 4 m

Therefore, the vector displacement will be:

d = +4 - (+11) = -7 m

Which means:

- Magnitude of 7 m

- Negative direction
