Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity. Velocity = speed +direction.

In this problem, we can say that any time during their trip their velocity was -20 m/s. It is due to the above reason that the velocity is a vector.

When the displacement of the object is negative, the average velocity will be negative.

For example, when an object moves in the negative direction, it will have negative velocity.
