The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
the slope.
As the slope get closer to zero, the graph becomes close to horizontal.
The slope of the speed-vs-time graph is the magnitude of acceleration.

acceleration
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.
the slope.
you need 2 points on the line y2-y1 slope=----- x2-x1
it is impossible to tell the slope of a line graph without proper points to evaluate from.
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
Nothing particular. The graph of y = x2, for example, changes slope at each point on the graph.
