slope = 0 means velocity = 0. Can't conclude that the object is stationary though. It is having a zero velocity at that point. A pendulum for example reaches zero velocity at the end of it swing but is only momentarily stationary... then it accelerates in the opposite direction.

since velocity is defined as dx/dt where x represents position, in other words, change in position/change in time. The slope of the curve is then, by definition, velocity. If the slope equals 0, then velocity=0. If velocity=0, then you have no motion.

Were you asleep during these classes about velocity, distance and time and what these graphs mean? Or are you just stupid enough to think that if you get the answer right without understanding it that it's somehow mysteriously the same as knowledge?
Do your own homework, at least then you might exercise the pitifully few brain cells you appear to currently possess.

by position when u say it is due to distance the speed of the vehicle in question is zero.in terms of displacement it means velocity of the vehicle is zero.that is, it has not moved yet.
