How would decreasing speed show up on the distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line would decrease.
What does the slope of a distance versus-time graph show about the motion of an object?
the slope show the velocity of the object which show its direction and magnitude.
What does the slope of a distance uersus time graph show you about the motion of an object?
acceleration.
What does the line on a speed or time graph show?
The shape and slope of the line on a graph illustrates the qualitative and quantitative relationship between the variables plotted on the axes of the graph. Sadly, there is no such graph as a "speed or time" one.
What does the slope of the graph indicate about the object's motion?
The answer will depend on whether the graph is a distance time graph or a speed time graph.The slope of a distance-time graph shows that speed of the object in the direction towards or away from the point of reference (usually the origin). It indicates absolutely nothing about its speed in any other direction. So, for example, an object could be rotating around the origin at the speed of light (the fastest possible) and the distance-time graph would show it being stationary bacause its distance from the origin is not changing!The slope of the speed-time graph indicated the acceleration of the object, again with the same qualification.
