An upward sloping straight line indicates that the object being studied is moving away from the origin and that the component of its velocity in the radial direction is a constant. A downward sloping line indicates it is moving towards the origin. However, neither line says anything about the transverse component of its motion.

What does a steep straight line sloping upwards on a distance time graph indicate?
It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.
Why is the distance time graph a straight line for?
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
The graph of a car's speedometer was straight line sloping downward. the car was?
Slowing down or decelerating
Is the distance-time graph for acceleration always a straight line?
-- If the distance-time graph is a straight line, then the magnitude of acceleration is zero. -- If the magnitude of acceleration is not zero, then the distance-time graph is curved.
What does an upward sloping diagonal line mean in position vs time graph?
It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)
How does the graph of velocity vs. time look for something with a constant positive acceleration?
An upward sloping straight line.
What can you say about the motion of a body if its velocity time graph is a straight line sloping upwards?
It is accelearting at a constant rate.
What is the distance-time graph for constant speed?
straight line
What does a direct proportion look like on a graph?
A straight line, through the origin, sloping up from left to right. The gradient of the graph will be the constant of proportionality.
A straight line on a distance time graph represents what type of speed?
A straight line on a distance/time graph means that the speed is constant. In every unit of time the distance increases by the same amount.
How does the graph of displacement vs. time look for something moving at a constant positive velocity?
An Upward Sloping Straight Line. <3
