Detailed Solution

The area under the line on a velocity-time graph represents the object's displacement.
The displacement of an object that is travelling at a constant speed is calculated by multiplying the speed by the distance travelled. The area under the line on a velocity-time graph represents the object's displacement. The area below a speed-time graph is the distance. Speed and distance cannot be negative. This is because speed and distance are scalar quantities. A velocity-time graph's displacement is the area underneath it.
If velocity were negative, the area under the curve would also be negative.
