How do you calculate slope on a position time graph?

Calculate slope as slope=(y2-y1)/(t2-t1).


How do you calculate speed of a distance time graph?

Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.


What kind of lines have a slope of zero?

On the standard Cartesian graph, horizontal lines have zero slope. They all have the equation Y = a number


How do you calculate velocity from an x-t graph?

If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.


Can you calculate speed from a motion graph?

If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.


How do you tell if lines on a graph are parallel?

two ways : 1. calculate the slope of the two lines, if it is same, they are parallel. 2. draw a perpendicular line ( 90 degrees) from on of the lines and if it intersects the other line at 90degrees then they are parallel -HD


How can you calculate a slope of graph?

Points: (x, y) and (x, y) Slope: y1-y2/x1-x2


What is an example of a zero slope?

a stright line going acrossed the graph lines. :)


Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.


How do you calculate the slope of a graph?

Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.


What is the general direction of lines with a negative slope?

downward as they proceed from left to right across a graph


Which method is used to calculate the slope on a distanced-time graph?

Slope = change in y (distance) / change in x (time). If the graph is not a straight line then either apply the above formula to the tangent at the point of interest or differentiate the equation of the graph.
