On a position–time graph, the value of the slope indicates the velocity of the object.
A steeper slope represents a higher velocity, while a flatter slope represents a lower velocity. If the slope is zero, the object is at rest. If the slope is positive, the object is moving in the positive direction, and if the slope is negative, the object is moving in the negative direction. The slope does not directly indicate the total distance traveled or a change in direction; it specifies the rate at which the position is changing with time, which is the definition of velocity.
