Motion at a constant speed - no acceleration or deceleration.
The steepness of the line on a distance-time graph represents the radial speed of the object. That is, the speed with which the object is moving towards or away from the origin. The steepness takes absolutely no account of the transverse speed, so you can be going around the origin in a circle at a great speed but, since your distance remains the same, the D-T graph will be flat: implying speed = 0.
No, the slope of the line on a speed-time graph does not represent speed; rather, it indicates acceleration. A horizontal line indicates constant speed, while a sloped line shows changing speed. The speed itself is represented by the vertical value on the graph at any given point.
If a line on a distance-time graph becomes steeper, it indicates that the speed of the object is increasing, meaning it is moving faster over time. Conversely, if the line becomes a flat horizontal line, this signifies that the object has stopped moving, as there is no change in distance over time.
Motion can be represented by a graph, typically a position-time graph, where the x-axis represents time and the y-axis represents position. The slope of the line indicates the speed of the object; a steeper slope signifies a faster speed, while a flat line indicates no movement. Curved lines can represent acceleration or deceleration, showing changes in speed over time. The area under the curve (in velocity-time graphs) can also indicate the distance traveled.
A horizontal line on a speed vs time graph indicates constant speed.
A flat line would indicate a constant velocity, no change in speed.
The gradient (slope) of the line on the graph.
That the object is moving at a constant speed

constant speed
i dont think you can use a line graph for that. i think a table would be better...
it means the object is moving at a constant speed
A straight line with a positive slope could represent the velocity versus time graph of a motorcycle whose speed is increasing.
-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis. -- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated wherever the graph-line is horizontal. -- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what the actual speed is.
The flat line tells us that the object is moving at a constant velocity. It has zero acceleration.
If a line on a distance-time graph becomes steeper, it indicates that the speed of the object is increasing, meaning it is moving faster over time. Conversely, if the line becomes a flat horizontal line, this signifies that the object has stopped moving, as there is no change in distance over time.
