Answer: The displacement is 1 block.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define:
The right is the positive side.
The left is the negative side.
Then if you start at position A, and you walk N blocks to the right, the new position is:
A + N
And if you start at position A, and you walk M blocks to the left, the new position is:
A - M.
In this case, we know that Kayla starts at -3 and she walks 5 blocks to the right.
Then her new position is:
-3 + 5 = 2
Now she walks 3 blocks to the left, then her new position is:
2 - 3 = -1
The displacement will be equal to the difference between the final position (-1) and the initial position (-2)
Then the displacement is:
D = -1 - (-2) = -1 +2 = 1
The displacement is 1 block.
