What else can I help you with?
Does slope mean distance on a graph?
No. It means the distance the graph line rises or drops when you move one unit to the righton the horizontal axis.If you're riding along the graph line from left to right in a little tiny car the size of a pinhead,the slope is the description of riding up-hill and down-hill on the line, and how steeply.
Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?
BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.
What does a line sloping upwards mean in a distance graph?
A line sloping upwards in a distance graph indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and the distance from that point is increasing over time. The steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving. If the line is straight, the speed is constant; if it curves, the speed may be changing.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the graph of y -8x 20?
Do you mean y = -8x+20 Then if so the perpendicular slope is positive 1/8.
What does the diagonal slope of a velocity vs time graph mean?
Acceleration , which is change of velocity over time.
What does a steep downward slope mean on a distance time 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.
Why the hills road are built to have gradual slope?
A gradual slope is easier to drive a vehicle over than an excessively steep slope. As a cyclist, I want a gradual slope, anything steeper would mean dismounting and walking to the top of the steep slope.
What does it mean when the contour lines are father apart?
When contour lines are farther apart, it indicates a gentle slope or gradual change in elevation in the terrain. This means the change in elevation over a given distance is more gradual.
What does zero slope (horizontal graph) mean in a distance versus time graph?
If the distance is on the y axis and time is on the x axis, a zero slope means that distance isn't changing over time.
Does slope mean distance on a graph?

What is the slope of the graph of y -3x?
If you mean: y = -3x then the slope is -3 and there is no y intercept
What is mean by slope in science graph?
It means the steepness of the line (which could actually change as you go along the line). Imagine a drawing of the outline of a hill. It starts level (flat, = zero slope) and starts to turn upwards with increasing slope, flattens off at the top (zero slope there) and then goes on with increasing negative slope as you continue down the other side. So the lines on graphs are described in a simliar way. The value of the slope is calculate by the small distance you go up or down for a small distance traveled sideways, divided by that small distance sideways.
What do slopes of straight lines on a position vs time graph mean?
The slope of a straight line on a position vs. time graph represents the object's velocity. A steeper slope indicates a faster velocity, while a shallower slope indicates a slower velocity. The slope can be positive for motion in the positive direction and negative for motion in the negative direction.
What does a line sloping upwards mean in a distance graph?
A line sloping upwards in a distance graph indicates that the object is moving away from the starting point, and the distance from that point is increasing over time. The steeper the slope, the faster the object is moving. If the line is straight, the speed is constant; if it curves, the speed may be changing.
What is the slope of every live perpendicular to the graph of y4x-1?
5
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
When velocity is changing, the slope of the position versus time graph represents the velocity at that particular moment. The slope becomes steeper when velocity is increasing and shallower when velocity is decreasing. A horizontal line indicates zero velocity.
