Respuesta :

the answer is B. because one graph shows distance and time, and the other graph shows speed and time

Jillian is correct.  The graphs show different motion.

The first graph shows the position of an object over time.  The position is increasing at a steady rate ... the object is moving at a steady speed.  The speed is the slope of the position line.  That's 25meters in 4seconds  ...  6.25 m/s .

The second graph shows the speed of an object (not velocity) over time.  The speed is increasing at a steady rate ... the object is moving with a constant acceleration.  The [magnitude of] acceleration is the slope of the speed graph.  That's 25meters per second in 4seconds ... 6.25 m/s² .

If you drew a distance/time graph for the object that's accelerating like in this second graph, the blue line would be steadily curving upward, not straight.
