Answer

### GRADIENT of the line

Explain

## Step 1: Understand the Graph<br />### In a distance-time graph, the distance is plotted on the Y-axis and time on the X-axis. The graph's gradient (or slope) provides information about the speed of the object.<br /><br />## Step 2: Define the Gradient<br />### The gradient of a graph is calculated as the change in the Y-axis value (distance) divided by the change in the X-axis value (time). This is essentially the formula for speed.<br />### **Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}**<br /><br />## Step 3: Identify the Correct Option<br />### The gradient of the line on a distance-time graph indicates the speed of the object. The other options (area under the graph, Y-value at the maximum point, X-value at the maximum point) do not provide information about the speed.<br /><br />#
