Not necessarily. The equation of a projectile, moving under constant acceleration (due to gravity) is a parabola - a non-linear equation.
That would be a linear equation.
It is a straight line.
The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph of the line represented by that equation crosses the y-axis.

slope
When an object moves in a straight line with constant acceleration, the equation describing its position (s) in terms of time (t) is a quadratic function like s = a t2 + b t + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of such an equation is a parabola. However, if u plot velocity against time, the function is linear, and the graph is a straight line.
When there is no acceleration or when there is constant acceleration. When either of these cases is present, the graph of velocity versus time will be linear. When there is linear velocity, the average velocity will equal the instantaneous velocity at any point on the graph.
The graph will be a line.
When it is a linear equation.
The answer will depend on the variables plotted on the graph!
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b
the line
The equation 2x - 3y = 6 is a linear equation and a linear equation is always has a straight line as a graph
acceleration
acceleration is the slope of the v t graph... so the acceleration is constant and negative. In other words, the object is slowing down at a constant rate.
If the constant acceleration is positive, the graph would be an exponential (x2) graph. If there is constant acceleration, then velocity is always increasing, making the position change at an ever increasing rate.
