  • Graph of x (m) against t (s) for a particle: position rises from 0 to 10 m at 2 s, falls to 5 m at 4 s, stays at 5 m until 5 s, falls to 0 at 6 s, reaches -5 m at 7 s, then returns to 0 at 8 s.

On a distance/time graph, the velocity is the slope of the line. The average velocity between two points on the graph is the slope between the two points.
