The Anatomy of a DISTANCE-Time Graph A straight line means constant speed. We can find the speed by finding the gradient. A steeper line means a faster speed.
A line sloping down means the body is coming towards the observer. Here, that means it is returning to the starting point.
distance m Distance is plotted on the y axis. (Distance away from something).
Here the line is getting steeper, so the body must be speeding up.
The body has ended at distance zero, so it has returned to its starting point.
It is accelerating.
time / s time is plotted on the x axis. A horizontal line means the body is stationary. It is not moving. (The gradient is zero).
