What is the slope of a distance time graph?

Answer # 1 #
The slope on a distance-time graph tells you the speed of an object.
Pretty straightforward, really. Think back to how you reckon slope works: it’s the 'rise over run'. On this graph, the vertical 'rise' is the distance travelled. The horizontal 'run' is the time that has passed. So, you’re literally just calculating distance divided by time, which is the definition of speed!
A steeper slope means a faster speed. If the line is completely flat, it means the speed is zero – the object isn't moving at all. Hope that clears it up
