Idon't get the flat line on a graph. on a distance/speed or motion graph, they say it is not moving. that is what i don't get is it staying in one place or moving at the same pace.

A flat line means the the speed is the same . Its moving at the same pace.

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
