When the distance
and time data in
Figure 6 were
graphed, the
resulting graph
would look like
the graph in
Figure 9.
The displacement (d)
which is the dependent
variable is plotted
against time (t), the
independent variable.

Independent variable is placed on the horizontal axis and the


dependent variable is placed along the vertical axis.
The graph shows a linear
relationship between
displacement and time.
From the graph,
𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 = 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒
(↑)
𝑠𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 = _________
𝑟𝑢𝑛
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.

The slope of the displacement-time graph represents


velocity and a straight-line graph indicates a constant
velocity.
Three different types of slope of motion:

(a) Constant velocity,


(b) (b) Constant velocity but in opposite direction
(c) (c) At rest
Three different types of slope of motion:

(a) Constant velocity,


(b) Constant velocity but in opposite direction
(c) At rest
Three different types of slope of motion:

(d) steeper slope,


(e) less steep slope
