Question Image

If the slope of the distance-time graph is less steep, then the speed of the moving object will be low. This is because as time passes, the distance moved by the object is less. If the slope of the graph is steeper, it resembles that the object is moving faster. This is because, as time passes, the object's distance is also more travelled. The figure shows that A moves faster than B, as B is less steep than A.
