Position-Time Graph it shows how far something travels over a period of time. It is the representation of speed or velocity when we indicate the direction of the moving object.

Which graph shows a faster constant speed? Note: a steeper line indicates a larger slope and a less steep line means a smaller slope Directions: Analyze the graph to answer the questions.
