Answer 1

On attached woksheet

Explanation:

The graph has units of time (sec) on the x axis and distance (meters) on the y. The lines in the graph represent a change in distance from the origin as a function of time. The slopes of these lines represent the speed, in m/sec., for that line. Since they are straight lines, the speed is not changing for that time period. A flat, horizonal, line represent a stationary object. Distance does not change with time. Steeper lines represnt faster speeds - the distance changes more quickly for the same time period.
