Answer

With the help of the given diagram, we observe that the red dots (dripping oil) are initially at regular intervals and later the gap between the dots decreases, which implies that initially the car was covering equal distances in equal intervals of time but later the distance is decreasing.

Thus, we can infer that initially the car is moving with a constant speed and then it slows down.
