Kymani Lowe · Answer 1

You can tell if an object on a graph is traveling at a constant speed if the object "flat-lines", meaning that it just goes flat on the y - or x - axis, depending on which is the axis labeled "speed".

A straight line represents a constant. It means that the speed is changing constantly in equal amounts over equal periods of time.
