Higher particle speed means a **higher** temperature.
Slower particle speed means a **lower** temperature.

To determine whether particles are going faster, slower, or staying the same speed in the indicated portions of the graph, we generally look at the slope of the graph or the temperature changes. However, since you didn't provide the actual graph, I'll give you general guidelines based on common scenarios in thermodynamic graphs:

- **A→B**: If the temperature increases, the particle speed is **increasing**; if the temperature is constant, the particle speed is **staying the same**; if the temperature decreases, the particle speed is **decreasing**.

- **B→C**: Similar to the above, if the temperature increases, the particle speed is **increasing**; if the temperature is constant, the particle speed is **staying the same**; if the temperature decreases, the particle speed is **decreasing**.

- **D→C**: If this transition involves a loss of temperature, particle speed is likely **decreasing**; if the temperature is constant, the particle speed is **staying the same**; if the temperature is increasing, the particle speed is **increasing**.

- **E→D**: Following the same logic, if this transition sees a drop in temperature, particle speed is **decreasing**; if it is constant, the particle speed is **staying the same**; and if it is increasing, the speed is **increasing**.

If you provide specific descriptions of the graph between the transitions, I can give you more precise answers!
