(N/A) $1$. For uniform motion: The distance-time graph is a straight line. This indicates that the object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time,meaning the speed is constant.
$2$. For non-uniform motion: The distance-time graph is not a straight line; it is a curve. This indicates that the object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time,meaning the speed is changing.
