An extract from 'How to read distance time graphs':
1. Look at the x-axis to understand the time scale that is being used. This could be seconds, minutes, hours, or even days.
2. Look at the y-axis to understand the distance scale that is being used. This could be in metres, kilometres, miles, etc.
3. Examine the line on the graph.
The gradient (steepness) of the line indicates speed. A steeper gradient means a faster speed.
Straight lines mean the object is moving at a constant speed.
Horizontal lines mean the object is stationary (not moving).
When the line slopes downwards, the object is returning to its starting point.
A curve means the object is accelerating or decelerating.
