as a horizontal straight line
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
The straight horizontal line would indicate constant speed.(NOT constant velocity. The velocity could very well be changing, but the graphdoesn't tell you anything about the direction of the motion, only that the speedis constant.)
If it is a horizontal straight line, it means the object is moving at constant velocity. If it is a sloped line, it means the object is accelerating.
On a graph, a horizontal line reprents no change in data.
horizontal
as a horizontal straight line
You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.
A flat line would indicate a constant velocity, no change in speed.
constant speed
distance = velocity x time so on the graph velocity is slope. If slope is zero (horizontal line) there is no motion
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity

A slanting line down from left to right represents an acceleration on the velocity time graph.
