If an object is at rest, its distance from a reference point does not change over time. In a time (X-axis) versus distance (Y-axis) graph, the distance (Y-value) remains constant regardless of how time (X-value) increases. This is represented by a horizontal line parallel to the X-axis.

A horizontal line on a distance-time graph signifies zero velocity, meaning the object is stationary or at rest.

A vertical line would imply infinite velocity, which is physically impossible. A graph with a positive slope (like 45°) indicates movement away from the origin at a constant positive velocity. A graph with a negative slope (like 45°) indicates movement towards the origin at a constant negative velocity.
