Solution
Velocity-time graph:
The area under the velocity-time graph represents the displacement traveled by the object in a given time interval.
The distance is represented by the area under a speed-time graph. Speed and distance cannot both be negative. This is due to the fact that speed and distance are scalars.
The displacement is represented by the area under a velocity-time graph.
When the velocity is negative, so is the area under the curve.
