The graph must have a horizontal segment.
The graph must have a horizontal segment.

The graph needs to start at the origin.
The graph needs to start at the origin.

The graph should show distance on the vertical axis.

Answer 1

Among the statements provided regarding a distance vs. time graph, the following is true:

**The graph should show distance on the vertical axis.**

In a distance vs. time graph, the vertical axis typically represents distance, while the horizontal axis represents time. The other statements are not necessarily true: the graph can have curves (not just straight line segments), doesn't have to have a horizontal segment unless the object is at rest, and it doesn't need to start at the origin if the object was already in motion when the measurement was started.
