A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
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.
What line does a distance versus time graph never show?
a vertical one
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
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 time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
What line will a distance vs time graph never show?
it will never be a vertical line as the slope is velocity and that would be infinite speed

What does a vertical line on a distance time graph indicate?
infinite speed
What kind of graph shows an object's speed?
Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.
Is the line perfectly vertical on a speed graph if you were standing still?
No. If the horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is speed, and you're standing still,Then the graph is perfectly horizontal, and it coincides with the horizontal axis.
What line does a distance versus time graph never show?
a vertical one
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
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.
Do the slope of the line on a speed-time graph tells the speed?
No. The vertical value of each point (the y-value) tells the speed.
Is 10y equals -x a function?
Yes, because you can rewrite it as: y = -x/10 Which is a line. When you graph the above equation, the graph passes the vertical line test - meaning that the graph never intersects with any vertical line more than once.
Is it false that a distance versus time graph will never show a vertical line?
Yes it is.
What is the steepness of a line graph equal to its vertical change divided by its horizontal change is referred to as the?
Speed
