NemiM [27]
X would be equal to time and y be equal to distance

The y axis would be measuring distance and the x axis would be measuring time. Another name for a speed graph is the distance time graph. The y axis would be measuring the distance covered by the truck in meters and the x axis would be for the time it takes to reach that distance in second.
