Heya!
Displacement is the shortest possible distance. And It CAN be negative, positive or even zero
Displacement is negative when-
Suppose, I start from point X and move 50 m in front and then come back moving 60 m. Clearly, I've moved an extra 10 m. And it will be termed as negative displacement.
Displacement is positive when-
You already know, If I move from point X to pint Y. I've covered certain distance and it can be termed as my positive displacement.
Displacement is zero when-
I move from point X to point Y and then back to point X. This will create 0 displacement. It can also be seen in a circular path where I come back to my original place (Place wherein I started)
Hope it helps! :)

when u drive the car forward from the initial point it is positive and just drive the car reverse i.e. backwards to the initial point to get the dispacement negative.
Displacement is zero when you go a round from the initial point and reach the same point.... example when the road is in a circle shape .. u start at a point and stop at the same point.
