Does slope mean distance on a graph?
No. It means the distance the graph line rises or drops when you move one unit to the righton the horizontal axis.If you're riding along the graph line from left to right in a little tiny car the size of a pinhead,the slope is the description of riding up-hill and down-hill on the line, and how steeply.
Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?
BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.
What does the diagonal slope of a velocity vs time graph mean?
no
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the graph of y -8x 20?
Do you mean y = -8x+20 Then if so the perpendicular slope is positive 1/8.
What is y3x 5 on a graph?
If you mean: y = 3x+5 then it is a straight line equation that can be plotted on a graph whereas 3 is the slope and 5 is the y intercept
Why the hills road are built to have gradual slope?
A gradual slope is easier to drive a vehicle over than an excessively steep slope. As a cyclist, I want a gradual slope, anything steeper would mean dismounting and walking to the top of the steep slope.
What does zero slope (horizontal graph) mean in a distance versus time graph?
If the distance is on the y axis and time is on the x axis, a zero slope means that distance isn't changing over time.

What is the slope of the graph of y -3x?
If you mean: y = -3x then the slope is -3 and there is no y intercept
What does the diagonal slope of a velocity vs time graph mean?
no
What does the slope of a friction vs weight graph mean?
the slope is the coefficient of friction. look at the equation of the graph as apply it to any of the friction problems your teacher gave you.
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
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'.)
What do slopes of straight lines on a position vs time graph mean?
The question seems a bit ambiguous, but on a time versus distance graph, the slope indicates velocity (speed). So for instance, if you plot time on the X axis and distance on the Y axis, a steeper slope means greater velocity (more distance covered in less time).
What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?
Acceleration
What is the slope of every live perpendicular to the graph of y4x-1?
5
Define semi log graph?
slope of best fit gives mean value?
