Well displacement is actually velocity over time (d = v/t) if I remember correctly, but that's one dimensional. The problem has both the x and y dimension, and is asking for the components of the vector, which the vector would be a diagonal line. I would need to figure out the x component and the y component that made the resultant vector.
