Solution

The line representing the distance covered by car A is steeper than that representing the distance covered by car B. Based on this, we can say that car A is travelling faster than car B.
The slope of the distance versus time plot on a graph is equal to the speed of the object. The faster an object travels, the greater the distance covered in a given interval of time, and consequentially, the greater the slope.
