That gives you the magnitude of velocity, but it doesn't handle the directions that are involved.

Displacement divided by time gives the average velocity of an object, which is a vector quantity indicating both speed and direction. The formula for average velocity is v a vg ​ = Δ t Δ x ​ . For example, walking 100 meters east in 5 seconds results in an average velocity of 20 m/s east.
