How to plot your graph A distance/time graph shows time on one axis (x) and distance on the other axis (y). It is important to plot the important information from the problem. For example: (0,0 ...

According to our kinematic equation, distance should be proportional to time squared. Let's make another graph. First, I am going to put distance on the vertical axis.

For example: (0,0) is the starting point because no time has passed and no distance has been travelled. (10,1000) shows that after 10 minutes has passed a distance of 1000 m has been travelled.
