upward-sloping line segment: The steeper the slope, the slower the motion.
downward-sloping line segment: The steeper the slope, the slower the motion.

To interpret a time graph (typically a distance vs. time graph):

  • An upward-sloping line segment indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and the steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving.
  • A downward-sloping line segment indicates that the object is moving back toward the starting point, and the steeper the slope in this case would also indicate a faster return to the starting point.

Based on this understanding, the correct response from your options is:

upward-sloping line segment: The steeper the slope, the faster the motion. downward-sloping line segment: The steeper the slope, the faster the motion.
