Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
It is a measure of the average gradient or slope.
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
The ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance is sometimes colloquially phrased as "rise over run"; the numerically calculated value is called "slope". Mathematically, slope can be thought of as the tangent (function) of the "angle of elevation".
