On a distance-versus-time graph, _____.
A.) the steeper the slope of the line, the faster the speed of the object

B.) if the line has a constant slope, the speed may be changing

C.) slope is calculated by dividing the run by the rise

D.)if the slope is zero, the object is moving slowly

The slope of the graph has the units of vertical axis divided by horizontal axis. This means that the slope of a distance vs time graph is distance/time, or velocity.

Slope is calculated by "rise over run" so C is incorrect.

Since the slope represents velocity, a constant slope equates to a constant velocity, hence B is incorrect. Same reasoning for D being incorrect: if the slope is zero, the object is not moving.
