Speed from a distance-time graph

Speed from a distance-time graph.

  • Read the time scale and distance units first.
  • A steeper distance–time segment means a greater speed. A horizontal segment means stationary.
  • A downward segment on a distance-from-start graph means returning, not negative distance travelled.

Example 1
