how is speed shown on a distance time graph?

a As the length of the line
b As the X value at the beginning of the line
c As the slope of the line
d As the X value at the end of the line

1 answer

c. As the slope of the line

Speed is calculated as the distance traveled divided by the time taken. On a distance-time graph, the slope of the line represents the speed of an object. A steeper slope indicates a greater speed, while a shallower slope indicates a slower speed.
