The graph you've provided shows a distance vs. time plot for four different objects, each represented by a line: A (green), B (blue), C (red), and D (purple). In a distance-time graph, the slope of the line represents the speed of the object. The steeper the slope, the higher the speed.

### Identifying the line with the highest speed:
- Line **B** (blue) has the steepest slope, meaning it covers more distance in less time compared to the other lines.
- Therefore, **line B** represents the object moving at the highest speed.

Would you like a detailed explanation of how to calculate the slope for each line?

Here are 5 related questions to consider:
1. How is the slope related to speed in a distance-time graph?
2. How would the graph change if the object is decelerating?
3. Can two objects with different slopes ever have the same speed?
4. How can you calculate average speed using this graph?
5. What would a horizontal line in this graph represent?

**Tip:** The slope (speed) in a distance-time graph is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time (Δy/Δx).

Which line represents the object moving at the highest speed?

Learn how to identify which object is moving the fastest in a distance vs time graph by analyzing the slope. In this example, line B represents the object moving at the highest speed due to its steepest slope. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
