उत्तर
The distance-time graph for the the uniform motion of an object is a straight line (as shown in the following figure).

The distance-time graph for an object's non-uniform motion is a curved line (as shown in the given figure).

Boojho goes to the football ground to play football. The distance-time graph of his journey from his home to the ground is given in the figure.

- What does the graph between points B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
- Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?

The slope of the distance-time graph indicates the speed.
Assertion: The position-time graph of a uniform motion in one dimension of a body can have a negative slope
Reason: When the speed of the body decreases with time then, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
