Answer 2

0, Below is the diagram for reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume hiker is starting from origin.

Positive
`y-axis` represents 'North'.

Positive
`x-axis` represents 'East'.

Negative
`y-axis` represents 'South'.

Negative
`x-axis` represents 'West'.

Hiker is starting from
`O`, travels
`4\ km` on
`+x-axis`, then
`6\ km \ down` (negative
`y-axis`), then
`4\ km` to the
`west`(negative
`x-axis`), again
`6km` up.

Then he reaches the same starting point O.
