-- If you only know that the line is slanting rather than horizontal,
but you don't know which way it slants, then you can only say that
the speed (magnitude of velocity) is changing as time goes on.
-- If the line slants down as it proceeds from left to right, then
the speed is decreasing as time goes on.
-- If the line slants up as it proceeds from left to right, then
the speed is increasing as time goes on.

∙ 7y agoThe slope (gradient) of a speed v time graph is acceleration.
If the graph is a straight line, then the acceleration is constant. if the slope is 0 (ie the line is horizontal) then the acceleration is 0, and the object is moving with a constant speed (which can be 0, ie the object is stationary).
If the graph is "slanted" then depending upon which way the line is "slanted" the object is accelerating or decelerating (the steepness of the slope gives the rate of this).
So the object is moving with constant acceleration and either speeding up or slowing down - which, and by how much, depends upon the gradient of the graph.

or if it slants down it is slowing down \

∙ 13y agoIt means that whatever you are graphing - velocity in this case - is increasing over time.

What advantage of reproduction does the graph show?
line graph
The motion represented by a horizontal line on a distance time graph?
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.Motion in a horizontal line by distance can be shown on a graph. This is what tells the Y-axis.
The 3 types of graphs used in science?
The three kinds of graph is bar graph, line graph, and pie graph. bar graph is used to compare two or more things. A line graph is used to show changes over time. A pie graph is used to show proportions.
What kind of graph would you most likely use fractions why?
Line graph
A smooth line that reflects the general pattern in a graph?
The line that reflects the general pattern of a graph is called a trend line.
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represents its motion?
A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.
For motion along a straight line a horizontal line on a speed over time graph indicates graph indicates that what is zero?
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
How is an object moving if a slanted straight line on a speed versus time graph represent its motion?
If its slanted up its accelerating, if down its decelerating.
Does a straight line on a motion graph indicates constant speed?
Yes. A straight line indicates constant speed =dy/dt= kt.
What is A line that a graph approaches but does not reach It may be a vertical horizontal or slanted line?
It is an asymptote.
What is the term for A line that a graph approaches but does not reach It may be a vertical horizontal or slanted line?
An asymptote.
The name of a slanted line on a graph?
A slanted line on a graph is simply a line segment formed by a linear equation (ex.- y=2x+4) with a slope(y=2x+4) and a y-intercept(y=2x+4). ~Ares
What is represented by a single point on a curve line graph in a distance time graph showing accelerated motion?
A bobsled's distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s. What is the bobsled's speed
Celia uses date from one part of the bike tour test run to draw the the following graph reating time and speed. Celia forgot to include scales on the axes of the graph.?
The graph is pretty nearly useless. A line (or segment) which is going up from left to right) indicates accelerating motion over that period, a horizontal line (segment) indicates motion at a constant speed and a line segment going downwards from left to right indicates retardation. However, there is no way to tell how fast anything is moving.
What is represented by a single point on a curved line in distanced graph showing accelerated motion?
A bobsled's distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s. What is the bobsled's speed
Is the steepness of a line on a motion graph is called a slope?
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
What type of graph is used to show an objects motion?
line graph
