No. The distance of a line on a graph will not affect how steep it is. Distance does not affect slope.

It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.
With distance on the x axis and time on the y axis a steep line would indicate a short distance traveled over a long period of time, depending on the scale of the graph.
It looks for all the world exactly as if it were a steep line.
It means that the object is moving at a high speed in a direction towards or away from the reference point.
A slope greater than 1 makes a graph be really steep. On the other hand, a slope less than 1 but greater than 0 makes a graph less steep. Therefore any fraction slope would give you a less steep graph.An example could be y=(1/3)x.
It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
With distance on the x axis and time on the y axis a steep line would indicate a short distance traveled over a long period of time, depending on the scale of the graph.
A steep downward slope on a distance-time graph indicates a fast decrease in distance traveled over time. This could suggest that the object is moving rapidly in the opposite direction or decelerating quickly.
The slope of a distance-time graph gives the speed or velocity of the object. If the slope is steep, it indicates a higher speed, while a less steep slope indicates a slower speed. The slope is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time.
I assume this question refers to the coefficient of the squared term in a quadratic and not a variable (as stated in the question). That is, it refers to the a in ax2 + bx + c where x is the variable.When a is a very large positive number, the graph is a very narrow or steep-sided cup shape. As a become smaller, the graph gets wider until, when a equals zero (and the equation is no longer a quadratic) the graph is a horizontal line. Then as a becomes negative, the graph becomes cap shaped. As the magnitude of a increases, the sides of the graph become steeper.
It means you are going very fast
What does a steep looks like
If it is distance from a point versus time, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, it would show a steep vertical climb on the graph. The steeper vertical change, the faster, but never completely vertical. Large "rise" (distance) over short "run" (time). With 0 acceleration, the graph is a straight line.
Im guessing that this is a distance over time graph. if so, the gradient of the line of best fit would have a low value. (not be very steep)
If the slope is 'uphill' then the car is going faster
It looks for all the world exactly as if it were a steep line.
