Show transcript
A level line on a distance-time graph shows a stationary object (no movement). The greater the gradient (steeper the line) on a distance-time graph, the faster the movement. Upward and downward sloping lines on a distance-time graph show movement in opposite directions. The average speed between two points is calculated using speed = change in distance ÷ time taken.
