Line Graph
y
Line graph consists
of x and y-axis, each
representing a distinct
variable. In this
case/lesson, one axis will
represent values for x
distance, and the other
for time.
Slope
Slope (m) means how much you go up or down
(rise) compared to how much you go left or right (run).
The quantities in the y- and x-axes represent the rise and
run, respectively.
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦2 − 𝑦1
𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 = 𝑚 =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑥2 − 𝑥1
=
Slope is equal to
velocity.

position at different times. What is the snail's velocity
between:

Motion
Graph
Is a visual representation
of the object’s motion. It
shows how far the object
has traveled at a given
time or how fast the
object moves.
Position-time
Graph
A position-time graph shows how far an
object has traveled from its starting
position at any given time since it started
moving.
Distance-time
Graph
• An object's motion can be described by plotting the
distance moved by the object against the time it
moved. This kind of graph only represents the total
distance traveled by a body over time, but it
DOES NOT SPECIFY THE DIRECTION.
• The slope of the graph represents the speed.
Displacement-time
Graph
• An object's motion can be described by plotting
the position of the object against the time
it moved.
• The slope of the graph represents the velocity
of the object.
Position-time Graph
Example:
Tim A car moving along a
e highway at a constant speed
of 60 miles per hour
Position-time Graph
Example:
A runner speeding up on a
track.
Position-time Graph
Example:
A stationary signpost planted
at the west end of a street.
Position-time Graph
slope is a negative
constant.
Example:
Tim A skydiver with a parachute
e descending steadily at a
constant rate
Position-time Graph
Example:
A stone dropped from a
height

Example:
A ball thrown vertically
upward gradually loses speed

Slope is zero Slope is positive Slope is negative
∴ Velocity is zero ∴ Velocity is constant, positive ∴ Velocity is constant, negative

vehicle changes throughout its travel.
