A line parallel to the horizontal (time) axis usually indicates that the radial velocity of the object is zero, that is, the object is not moving towards or away from the origin. The object need not be still since it can be moving at any speed in a transverse direction.

Two parallel lines indicate two objects, at different distances from the origin, gthat are moving at the same radial speed.

As a helix of semi-precious stones. (With apologies to Samuel R. Delany.)

I can't figure out what you're trying to ask here. We can't tell what the graph shows without seeing the graph.

For, slope parallel to x-axis--------distance-time graph represents that velocity is constant and acceleration is zero.But for y-axis I don't know sorry.

What would a horizontal line position time graph mean?

The obect was stationary during the time period indicated by the end points of the horizontal section.


What does an downward sloping diagonal line mean in position vs time graph?

It means that either the distance is measured from the finish-line, or else the object is moving backwards, because the distance is shrinking as time goes on.


Does a horizontal line on a velocity vs time graph mean an object has stopped?

Not necessarily. If the horizontal line is laying on top of the x-axis, then the speed is zero at any time, and the object isn't moving. But if the horizontal line is parallel to the x-axis, then the object is moving with constant speed.


What if your data doesn't graph into a straight line?

Many sets of data do not form into straight lines. If by "What if" you mean how to plot a line onto this graph. Then simply draw a curved line of best fit.


What is the difference between parallel and latitude?

Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude. Latitude = Fatitude = AROUND THE WORLD. It doesn't really mean parallel. The equator is a line of latitude.

How do you graph a line parallel to y3x 2 with a y-intercept of -3?

If you mean: y = 3x+2 then the parallel line will be y = 3x-3


Why is it not possible for any part of the distance-time graph of a body to be a straight-line segment parallel to the distance axis?

BecAuse that would mean it is going an infinite speed. The slope of a distance time graph is the objects velocity or speed. If there is a line parallel to the distance axis, there is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is infinite. It is not possible to go an infinite speed.


In a position vs time graph what does it mean if the position is a negative number?

If acceleration is negative the graph looks like a upside U and decreases in value as time continues If acceleration is constant the graph is a straight line (linear) at 0 or whatever the velocity is

What equation is whose graph is parallel to the graph of y0.5x-10?

If you mean: y = 0.5x-10 then an equation parallel to it will have the same slope of 0.5 but a y intercept different to -10

Is it possible to actually move your body (or an object) to make the verticle lines on a position-time graph?

No. A vertical line on a position-time graph would mean that an object moved a given distance in zero time, in other word that it traveled infinitely fast.
