Graphing Motion
2 m/ 1s = 2 m/s 4 m/ 2s = 2 m/s
6 m/ 3s = 2 m/s
The speed is 2 m/s at each of the three seconds! In other words, the speed is constant.

The Importance of SlopePosition versus time graphs can be used to find speed and compare speeds.When we talk about the slope of a line, we are talking about how steep a line is.
The steeper the
slope, the faster
the speed.

The Importance of Slope
The steeper the slope of the line on a position versus time graph, the greater the speed!
The slope of the black line gives us the speed of the bicycler.
