For a graph showing a car's distance over time, the rate of change is the car's A speed.

When the car is speeding up, the rate of change is shown on the graph as an upward D curve (indicating that distance is increasing at an increasing rate).

So the completed sentences would be:

  1. For a graph showing a car's distance over time, the rate of change is the car's A speed.
  2. When the car is speeding up, the rate of change is shown on the graph as an upward D curve.

Thus, the answers are A and D.
