No - a line graph may peak and trough depending on the data marked on the graph - a bit 'like join the dots'.

Is it true that a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates a constant speed?
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
Does a horizontal line has a slope of zero?
Yes, it is true; slope zero is no slope.
What point on y equals x2 is the tangent line parallel to y equals x?
That's true at the point (0.5, 0.25) where the slope of the graph is ' 1 ' .
Is it true or false that the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tells the speed?
False. If speed is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis, then any point (a,b) on the line will tell you the speed a at any given time b. The slope of the line will tell you the change in speed with respect to time, which we call acceleration.
Is the slope of a line the coefficient of the x-term in the line's equation?
True.
Is the displacement time graph of a body moving with uniform velocity always a straight line?
A displacement vs. time graph of a body moving with uniform (constant) velocity will always be a line of which the slope will be the value of velocity. This is true because velocity is the derivative (or slope at any time t) of the displacement graph, and if the slope is always constant, then the displacement will change at a constant rate.
What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?
A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.
Is it true that a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates a constant speed?
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
What is true about the graph of the line y -3x 4?
The line has a slope of -4
What must be true about the slope of a line whose graph extends into quadrants II and IV?
it is a negative slope.
A constant speed has a slope of zero on a graph because no acceleration is taking place?
That would be true, in the case of a graph of speed vs time.
Velocity is the slope of the displacement vs time graph?
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
Considering the graph of a line with a negative slope what is true?
the line goes down from left to right as the absolute value of the negative slope get bigger, the graph of the line gets steeper as the absolute value of the negative slope gets smaller, the graph of the line gets less steep ( apex )
Velocity is the slope of a displacement vs time graph true or false?
False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration
Is it true a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicates constant speed?
The answer is TRUE because it is a straight line as the graph shows below. http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/apphynet/Measurement/Images/d_vs_t2_graph.gif

Is velocity the slope of the displacement vs time graph true or false?
that is true
