Yes. Speed is the rate at which distance changes over time. In calculus terms v = dx/dt, or the slope of the distance vs. time graph. If the slope of the distance vs. time graph is a straight line, the speed is constant.
Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.
Yes. The slope, or rate, is constant. The rate being represented is speed. If the slope is a negative constant, the object is losing distance (going towards) from the orgin at at a constant speed.
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A constant rate on a graph is typically represented by a straight, diagonal line. This indicates that the change in one variable is consistent with respect to the change in another variable, such as time. For example, if you graph distance versus time for an object moving at a steady speed, the slope of the line remains constant, reflecting the constant rate of motion.

On a distance-time graph, a constant speed is represented by a straight, diagonal line with a constant slope. This slope indicates that the object is covering the same distance for each unit of time, meaning its speed is consistent throughout the motion.
No. It means that the object is going at a constant speed.
On a distance-time graph, different constant speeds would be represented by straight lines which have different slopes. The steeper the line, the faster the speed. Each line would have a constant slope to indicate a constant speed.
The answer is TRUE because it is a straight line as the graph shows below. http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/apphynet/Measurement/Images/d_vs_t2_graph.gif

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)
A straight line on a distance - time graph represents a "constant velocity".
A straight diagonal line on a distance-time graph represents an object moving with uniform motion. This line shows a constant speed where the distance covered increases at a steady rate over time.
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.
