Answer:

The car is not moving

Step-by-step explanation:

On a position-time graph, the gradient of the line represents the velocity. If the gradient is positive, then the car is speeding up, if it is negative, then the car is slowing down, if it is a horizontal line (where the gradient is zero) then the velocity is zero.

Hence, the horizontal line indicated that the car is not moving.
