Graphs provide a convenient method to present basic information about a variety of events.\

To describe the motion of an object, we can use line graphs. In this case, line graphs show the dependence of one physical quantity, such as distance or velocity, on another quantity, such as time.

The change in the position of an object with time can be represented on the distance-time graph adopting a convenient scale of choice.

The variation in velocity with time for an object moving in a straight line can be represented by a velocity-time graph.
