It is the point of origin of the x and y axes of the graph
If you mean: 2x+4y = 4 then the graph joins the points: (2, 0) and (0, 1)
Because a slope of zero indicates that the y-value (speed) isn't changing.
On the Cartesian plane it is at point of origin whose coordinate is (0, 0)
The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.
