The distance-time graph depicts how far a body travels in a given amount of time. 

For example, in the case of uniform motion, the graph will be a straight line, however if the gradient increases, it indicates that the body is moving quickly. 

The X-axis represents time, while the Y-axis represents distance, just like any other graph. 

Students can calculate the speed and velocity of a body using this graph. 

Furthermore, the area beneath the graph indicates the overall distance travelled by a body. 

As a result, students may understand the following units using this graph without having to do any hard computations.
