Let us get two points from Figure
9:
Point 1
(time1, displacement1)
or P1(t1, d1)
Point2
(time2, displacement2)
or P2(t2, d2)
Thus,
If we choose the two points P1 (5,
5) and P2 (10,10),
The slope of a straight line is
constant. Even if we choose
two different pairs of points on
the same line, we shall obtain
the same slope.
