It indicates that the object in question is not moving in towards or away from the origin. However, it gives no information about motion in the transverse direction.

if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
Distance and Time are variables and always moving. Therefore the answer is no. Let's suppose: If time is the vertical axis and distance (travelled) the horizontal axis. Standing still (not travelling) would show a vertical graph line. If distance is the vertical axis and time the horizontal axis. Then standing still would form a horizontal line based on time alone.
It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.
It would be a horizontal line, with a y-coordinate at the starting distance.
