it is neither slowing down nor speeding up
A straight line with a gradient > 0 represents a constant rate of acceleration.
An incline represents acceleration, a straight line represents a constant speed and a decline represents slowing down.
Yes, a body can be in motion but have zero acceleration if it is moving at a constant speed in a straight line. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, so if velocity is constant, acceleration is zero even though the body is in motion.
A constant acceleration on a velocity-time graph would appear as a straight line with a non-zero slope. The slope of the line represents the acceleration, with a steeper slope indicating a greater acceleration.
If your acceleration is zero, then yes, you are traveling at a constant speed. The path does not matter. Acceleration measures the change in velocity, so an acceleration of zero means that there is zero change in velocity and therefore the speed is constant.
The acceleration of the ball can be estimated by calculating the slope of the velocity versus time graph. If the graph is a straight line, the slope represents the acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration. If the graph is curved, the instantaneous acceleration can be estimated by finding the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the curve.
A straight slanted slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant acceleration.

An upward sloping straight line.
A curved line represents changing speed - either acceleration or deceleration - while a straight line indicates that the speed is constant.
On a graph of speed versus time, where time is plotted along the horizontal (X) axis and speed along the vertical (Y) axis: -- constant speed (zero acceleration) produces a straight, horizontal line; -- constant acceleration produces a straight, sloped line; the slope of the line is equal to the acceleration; -- if the acceleration is positive, the line slopes up to the right (speed increases as time increases); -- if the acceleration is negative, the line slopes down to the right (speed decreases as time increases).
A position-time graph with a straight line indicates constant acceleration. The slope of the line represents the acceleration, which is constant if the slope remains the same throughout the graph. A steeper slope indicates a greater acceleration, while a shallower slope indicates a smaller acceleration.
