    The person is further from the origin then they where originally.

    Explanation

    The person starts with a negative displacement from the origin. They then move with a negative velocity, this means that they are walking away from the origin in the negative direction. This means that the displacement will end up a larger negative number than before, thus they are further away from the origin.
