What does the slope of a distance – versus – time graph represent?

The slope of a distance versus time graph represents the speed (or velocity) of an object. Specifically, it reflects how much distance changes with respect to time. A steeper slope indicates a greater speed, while a flatter slope indicates slower movement. If the slope is zero, it means the object is at rest and not changing its position over time. A positive slope indicates movement away from the starting point, while a negative slope would indicate movement towards the starting point.
