Based on the description of the graph, the following statements accurately describe the motion of the object:
1. **The object is moving away from the origin.** (Since the position is increasing over time, it is moving away from zero.)
2. **The object started at the origin.** (The graph begins at the point (0 seconds, 0 meters).)
3. **The object is traveling at a constant velocity.** (The straight blue line indicates a constant rate of change in position over time, meaning constant velocity.)
The other options are not correct based on the provided graph description.
