The slope of a velocity-time graph represents
acceleration. A steeper slope indicates a higher
acceleration.
4. (A)
The area under a speed-time graph gives the
distance traveled by the object.
10. • The slope of a distance-time graph represents the
speed of an object. The steeper the slope, the
greater the speed

• If the object is at rest, the distance-time graph will
be a horizontal line (slope = 0).
A straight, inclined line indicates constant speed.
