Notice that the first graph shows the speed vs. time. On that graph, the speed is always equal to c no matter the time. Then, the first graph represents an object moving at a constant speed c.

On the second graph, we see a straight line with positive slope on a graph representing distance vs. time. This is a characteristic model for objects moving at a constant speed, traveling equal distances over equal time intervals.
