    Answer:6.4 meters eastward

    Explanation: you’re displacement is supposed to be the distance of the initial position to the final position (where you started to where you finished) so that means you would have to subtract 9.2 by 2.8 to get 6.4, and because you subtracted from 9.2 the direction is eastward.

    Hope I helped!
