A positive slope results when an individual is moving away from the origin.
Reason: On a position–time graph the slope = velocity. A positive slope means the position is increasing (motion in the positive direction, i.e., away from the origin), a negative slope means motion in the negative direction, a horizontal line means zero velocity, and the speed is the magnitude of the slope.
