Solution
Explanation:
- In a distance-time graph, the constant speed of a truck will be represented by a straight line.
- In a distance-time graph, a straight line parallel to the time axis indicates that the truck is not moving.
- A curved line on a distance-time graph indicates that the truck is moving at a speed that is not constant.

The slope of the distance-time curve is steeper/greater is the ______.
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.
