An upward sloping straight line indicates that the object being studied is moving away from the origin and that the component of its velocity in the radial direction is a constant. A downward sloping line indicates it is moving towards the origin. However, neither line says anything about the transverse component of its motion.

What does a steep straight line sloping upwards on a distance time graph indicate?
It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.
Why is the distance time graph a straight line for?
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
What does a direct proportion look like on a graph?
A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.
What is the distance-time graph for constant speed?
straight line
What does it mean when a distance-time graph is straight line?
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.
