The steepness is usually referred to as the slope,usually being a fraction, like 5/2. The numerator represents the rise, and the denominator represents the run. Typically, this is remembered by rise over run. One must count, for this example, up 5 units and to the right 2 units to find the next point on the line.
The gradient. If you consider the formula for any graph, Y=mx+c, then m is the gradient of the line.
You can find the gradient by deltaY/deltaX (change in y axis divided by change in X axis).
if you are reffering to a scatter graph, the straight line is called the line of best fit.
constant velocity, it has no acceleration
slope
A slanting line down from left to right represents an acceleration on the velocity time graph.
If the graph is a straight line, then the slope of the line is the average acceleration of the ball.
In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.
Position-Time GraphYou can graph motion on a position vs time graph. On a position vs time graph, position is on the y-axis and time is on the x-axis. If the velocity is constant, the graph will be a straight line and the slope is average velocity. If the motion is accelerating, the graph will be a curved line.Velocity-Time GraphYou can also graph motion on a Velocity-Time graph. On a velocity vs time graph, velocity is on the y-axis, time is on the x-axis. If the graph is a straight line, velocity is constant and the slope is average acceleration. Also, on a velocity vs time graph, the area under the line is displacement.Refer to the related link for illustrations of the different graphs of motion and their meanings.
It represent the distance covered is 40 metre.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A straight line.
A flat line would indicate a constant velocity, no change in speed.
A slanting line down from left to right represents an acceleration on the velocity time graph.

as a horizontal straight line
If the graph is a straight line, then the slope of the line is the average acceleration of the ball.
A velocity-time graph is often a misnomer since it is, in almost all cases, a graph showing the component of velocity in the direction towards and away from a fixed point of reference. The graphs do not usually included any information on the motion in a perpendicular direction. Therefore, a straight line in a "velocity"-time graph indicates that there is no acceleration in the radial direction.
The slope of a line on a position vs. time graph would represent the a velocity of the object being described.
In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.In that case, the graph would be a straight line.
Time is plotted on the X-axis. Speed or velocity is plotted on the Y-axis. A straight horizontal line on a speed-time graph means that speed is constant. It is not changing over time. A straight line does not mean that the object is not moving!
It could be a velocity graph or an acceleration graph. If the plot is a straight line it is constant velocity. If the plot is a curve it is acceleration.
