that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
The convention for an x-y graph is as follows: y | | |_____ x where the x-axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical.

You would put time on the horizontal axis and the position of the object on the vertical axis. This would allow you to see how the object's position changes over time.
When you graph the motion of an object, you typically put the time on the horizontal axis (x-axis) and the position, velocity, or acceleration of the object on the vertical axis (y-axis). This allows you to visualize how the object's position, velocity, or acceleration changes with time.

horizontal.
In simple cases, you would put time on the horizontal axis.
Time is usually placed on the horizontal axis when graphing the motion of an object. This allows for the visualization of how the position or velocity of the object changes with respect to time.
If a line on a distance versus time graph is horizontal, it indicates that the object is not changing its position over time. In other words, the object is at rest and not moving.
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
A distance-time graph is created by placing the distance on the vertical axis with the time placed on the horizontal axis. The values can then be plotted using distance traveled on different intervals.
