A horizontal line means the object is moving at a constant speed. The gradient of the line = the rate of change of speed. The steeper the line, the greater the increase in speed. The area under the ...
\(gradient = \frac{change~in~y}{change~in~x} = \frac{change~in~distance}{change~in~time} = \frac{change~in~metres}{change~in~seconds} = m/s.\) The gradient of a ...
