Answer

We have 3 stages of motion of this object: 1- From $t=0\;\rm s$ to $t=200\;\rm s$, the object moves at a constant speed (since the slope is constant). ​During this stage, it travels 100 m. 2- From $t=200\;\rm s$ to $t=400\;\rm s$, the object stops ​During this stage, it covers no distance at all. 3- From $t=400\;\rm s$ to $t=600\;\rm s$, the object moves at a constant speed again and in the same direction as well. ​During this stage, it travels 200 m.

You can replace the word object with any real thing like a cat.
