Distance–time graphs explained

Video coming soon

The key ideas and the summary sheet for this lesson are ready now.

Key ideas

  1. Time goes along, distance goes up; a flat line means stopped.

  2. Speed = gradient = change up ÷ change along.

  3. A straight line means constant speed.

  4. Higher: on a curve, draw a tangent and find its gradient.
