A time line measures time, however, some other variable might also be changing as the timeline changes. Distance can change as time changes but the timeline indicates time. Distance could be inferred.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
Time = (distance) divided by (speed) Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time) Speed = (distance) divided by (time)
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.

If the slope is 'uphill' then the car is going faster
The slope of the line on distance vs time is the same as the change of distance with respect to time...which is called "speed".
a distance and time
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
Diagonal line
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
