About this lesson
Travel graphs tell the story of a journey. Learn to read distance–time and speed–time graphs, work out speed and acceleration, and find the distance travelled from the area under a graph. You will learn: • Distance–time graphs: gradient = speed, flat line = stopped • Average speed = total distance ÷ total time (not the average of the speeds!) • Speed–time graphs: gradient = acceleration or deceleration • A flat line on a speed–time graph means steady speed, not stopped • Area under a speed–time graph = distance travelled • Telling the two graphs apart • Practice questions with full answers This is lesson 4 of 7 in Chapter 6: Graphs 6.1 Line segments 6.2 Straight-line graphs 6.3 Parallel and perpendicular lines 6.4 Travel graphs (this lesson) 6.5 Quadratic graphs 6.6 Gradient of a curve 6.7 Graphical solutions of equations © 2026 teachly.lk.
