The object is moving, so at different times, it has different displacement. I'm guessing that you probably want to know the displacement at the end of the time on the graph ... 5 seconds.

Displacement is the distance and the direction FROM (the position at the beginning) TO (the position at the end).

At the beginning ... time=0 ... the position is 1 meter.

At the end ... time=5 ... the position is zero.

The distance FROM the beginning TO the end is (zero - 1m) . That's -1m .
