Real-life and distance-time graphs
Interpret and draw real-life graphs including distance-time and velocity-time
What you'll learn
- 1
Imagine you're on a road trip and you record your distance every hour. That's a distance-time graph! 📈
- 2
On a distance-time graph, what does a flat horizontal line mean?
- 3
Move the car along the road to see how distance changes over time.

This graph shows a 2-hour walk: 1 hour walking at 4 km/h, then 30 min rest, then 30 min walking back.
- 5
If you walk at a steady 5 km/h for 2 hours, how far do you go?
- 6
Plot the points for a journey: 0 km at 0 min, 3 km at 30 min, then stop for 15 min, then 6 km at 75 min.
