    To look for displacement, just draw a vector from your beginning stage to your last position and settle for the length of this line. So we begin by drawing a line to the north which is 30 ft, since it is north, the line is going up, then it move 5 ft to the south, so put a line going down, so we are in 25 ft, North so that would be the answer.

    The initial displacement=d1 = 30 feet North

    d2 = - 5 feet south

    we take d2 as negative because we treat south direction as negative

    so the net displacement = d1+d2

    net displacement = - 5+30

    net displacement=25

    so the net displacement = 25 feet North.
