line graph
That phrase "this graph" is kind of a hint that there was a graph along with this question in the book that you copied it from. The question refers to that graph, and can't be answered without it, but you neglected to show it to me, so I don't stand a chance.
The answer depends on the motion.
You could try a speed-time graph, or a distance-time graph.
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
If the motion changes, the graph might show a different shape, slope, or position. For example, if the speed increases, the graph might show a steeper slope. If the direction of motion changes, the graph might show negative values or a curve. Any variation in the motion will be reflected in the graph.
it is called a motion graph
One can solve equations of motion by graph by taking readings of the point of interception.
line graph
A graph is best described as a table that communicates information visually.
To find the direction of motion from a distance x axis and time y axis graph, look at the slope of the graph. A positive slope indicates motion in the positive direction, while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A horizontal line indicates stationary motion.

sinusoidal
From a velocity-time graph, you can calculate the acceleration by finding the slope of the graph at a certain point. The area under the graph represents the displacement of the object. You can also determine the direction of motion based on the slope of the graph (positive slope indicates motion in one direction, negative slope indicates motion in the opposite direction).
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
For uniform motion, the position-time graph will be a straight line with a constant slope, indicating a constant velocity.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
