The distance traveled by The distance traveled by an object in a period of an object in a period of time often is expressed time often is expressed using a line graph. A line using a line graph. A line graph visually conveys graph visually conveys information using sets of information using sets of data points. data points.

Instantaneous speed vs Instantaneous speed vs average speedaverage speed
Average speedAverage speed is computed for is computed for the entire duration of a tripthe entire duration of a trip
Instantaneous speedInstantaneous speed is measured is measured at a particular instant. at a particular instant.
SpeedSpeed is the ratio of the distance an is the ratio of the distance an object moves to the amount of time object moves to the amount of time the object moves. the object moves.
