Explanation:

Step1: Recall displacement from v-t graph

Displacement = Area under velocity-time graph. For negative velocity, area is negative.

Step2: Identify velocity and time

Velocity $v = -10\ \text{m/s}$ (negative as it's downward on graph), time $t = 5\ \text{s}$.

Step3: Calculate displacement

Displacement $d = v \times t$
$d = -10 \times 5 = -50$

Answer:

$-50\ \text{m}$
