# A student walks \( 3 \) \( \text{m} \) east, then \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \) west in \( 7 \) \( \text{s} \). What is their displacement and average velocity?

A student walks \( 3 \) \( \text{m} \) east, then \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \) west in \( 7 \) \( \text{s} \). What is their displacement and average velocity?

- **A.** \( 1 \) \( \text{m} \), \( -\frac{1}{7} \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **B.** \( 7 \) \( \text{m} \), \( 1 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **C.** \( -1 \) \( \text{m} \), \( -\frac{1}{7} \) \( \text{m/s} \)
- **D.** \( -7 \) \( \text{m} \), \( -1 \) \( \text{m/s} \)
