the starting point
B
the direction
C
the end point
D
the time per meter

Explanation

Velocity includes both how fast an object moves and its direction. The given displacement and time give a speed of about 20 ÷ 4.7 = 4.3 m/s, but without a direction the velocity is not fully specified. The missing information is the direction.
