What does a flat line on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed of the object.

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
