Answer:

The speed is constant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for a straight-line graph is

y = mx + b

where m and b are constants.

m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

If we change the variables, the equation becomes

d = mt + b


m = (\Delta d)/(\Delta t) = = \frac{\text{ distance}}{\text{time}} = \text{speed}

Since m is constant, so is the speed.
