A line with no slope is a vertical line. The slope is undefined, and cannot be represented by a real number.
A horizontal line has a slope, but the slope is zero.
Consider the "y = mx + b" form of the straight line equation. For a horizontal line the slope is zero, so y = 0x +b => y = b, which is the equation of a horizontal line. For a vertical line, there is no slope, so you can't substitute for m; the equation can't be written in the form y = mx +b. The equation of a vertical line has the form x = a.
Nothing particular. The graph of y = x2, for example, changes slope at each point on the graph.
The graph of the equationy = 2x + any numberis a straight line with a slope of 2.
For example, if the slope at a certain point is 1.5, you can draw a line that goes through the specified point, with that slope. The line would represent the slope at that point. If you want to graph the slope at ALL POINTS, take the derivative of the function, and graph the derivative. The derivative shows the slope of a function at all points.
A straight line graph with negative slope slants downward from left to right.

The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.
acceleration
the slope at any point on the graph is the acceleration
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
the slope.
it is impossible to tell the slope of a line graph without proper points to evaluate from.
you need 2 points on the line y2-y1 slope=----- x2-x1
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
