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.

Why the slope of horizontal is zero?
assuming you're speaking of a horizontal line on a graph: It is because the line moves neither up or down. slope is the steepness of a line and a horizontal line isn't steep at all, it has no steepness.
What ia a measure of the steepness of a line?
If you're talking about a line on a graph the steepness would be defined as the slope. Also know as rise over run. The number of units the line rises or falls divided by the number of units it goes to the right or left
What is the slope of a line having no steepness?
A straight horizontal line is a line having no steepness.
What does the graph of a linear equation represent?
A straight line.
How is the steepness of the line is related to the rate of change?
the steepness of the line is the slope of the line which is the rate of change; the steeper the slope, the faster the rate of change
