This graph represents the motion of a car while driving over a short distance. Which statement accurately describes the motion of the
car in this graph?
It is going forwards slow, then it is going forwards fast.
It is going forwards fast, then it is going forwards slowly.
It is going backwards slow, then it is going backwards fast.
D)
It is going backwards fast, then it is going backwards slowly.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
