the difference between a constant in a graph and a constant in a experiment is that when on a graph, the constant is the thing that changes, and in a experiment it is the part that stays the same.
The graph of y = c, a constant will be a straight line parallel to the x-axis and c units from it..
linear?
I believe trends in data should be presented in a graph.
That kind of depends on what is being graphed. -- On a graph of acceleration vs time, the graph is a straight line that lays right on top of the x-axis, because the acceleration is a constant zero. -- On a graph of speed vs time, constant speed is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis. -- On a graph of distance vs time, constant speed is a straight line with a positive slope; that is, it rises as it progresses toward the right.

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 answer depends on what the graph is of!

A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
The highest point on a graph is when the derivative of the graph equals 0 or the slope is constant.
On a graph of velocity and time, a constant speed would appear as a straight horizontal line.
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.
Changing the constant in a function will shift the graph vertically but will not change the shape of the graph. For example, in a linear function, changing the constant term will only move the line up or down. In a quadratic function, changing the constant term will shift the parabola up or down.
linear?
The answer depends on what the constant is: the y-intercept in a linear graph, constant of proportionality, constant of integration, physical [universal] constant.
