    No, because time takes place on the x-axis and time never stops, so time would have to stop in order for it to be a vertical line.

    No. If time is the horizontal axis and distance is the vertical axis, then

    it is not possible for a distance-vs-time graph to be a vertical line.

    A vertical line would mean:

    - - the object was at all distances at the same time,

    - - it moved from any location to any other location in no time, and

    - - it moved with infinite speed.

    Even light doesn't do that. A distance-vs-time graph for light is

    not a vertical line. It's a slanted line with slope of (3 x 10⁸) m/s.

    Purty durn steep, but not vertical.
