These graphs are the results of the "Walking the Graph Lab", displaying either Distance vs. Time or Velocity vs. Time.
DT is the more manageable of the two. The further back you go from the origin the higher the graph line goes, and the closer you get to the origin the lower the graph lines go. If the line becomes horizontal the you are standing still. It's important to note that the entirety of these DT graphs had us moving at a constant pace. Simple.
VT is a little more challenging. A sloping line away from the x-axis meant that you were steadily increasing your speed away from the origin. However, a sloping line away from the x-axis in the NEGATIVE quadrant meant that you were steadily increasing speed towards the origin. Opposite directing lines mean that you were decreasing speed, and a horizontal line meant a constant velocity was kept.
Overall thats not too hard.
