It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object

is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object

is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on.

If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)

An upward sloping diagonal line on a position vs. time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant positive velocity. The slope of the line represents the speed of the object.
