Acceleration
constant speed
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D

The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.
No becauz it don't make sense.
The straight horizontal line would indicate constant speed.(NOT constant velocity. The velocity could very well be changing, but the graphdoesn't tell you anything about the direction of the motion, only that the speedis constant.)
The dependent variable is shown on the vertical, or y-axis of a graph.
A constant speed.
A scatter plot, a line chart, a bar chart are some possible answers.
It shows how quickly the variable plotted on the vertical axis (y) changes relative to the variable that is plotted on the horizontal axis (x).
