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.

What does a downward sloping diagonal line mean in a velocity vs time graph?

This means your velocity is decreasing with time, or in other words, the object is slowing down.


What does an upward sloping diagonal line mean in a velocity vs time graph?

An upward sloping diagonal line on a velocity vs. time graph represents constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration.


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

It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)


What does the downward sloping line in a speed graph mean?

If you are analyzing speed with respect to time, then you are decelerating.


The graph of a car's speedometer was straight line sloping downward. the car was?

Slowing down or decelerating

What does a straight line sloping upwards on a position-time graph indicate about velocity?

A straight line sloping upwards on a position-time graph indicates that the object is moving with a constant positive velocity. The slope of the line represents the velocity of the object.


What does a curved line pointing downward on a position versus time graph indicate?

That means the speed (the slope of the position-time graph) is decreasing.


What does a position vs time graph showing positive acceleration look like?

A position vs. time graph showing positive acceleration would be a straight line sloping upwards from left to right.


What will the acceleration-time graph show if the speed is decelerating?

On a graph of acceleration vs. time, during deceleration the line is below zero. On a graph of speed vs. time, during deceleration the line has a negative slope (sloping downward from left to right).


How is deceleration symbolized?

Deceleration can be symbolized as a negative value in an equation or graph, indicating a decrease in speed or velocity. It can also be represented by a downward sloping line on a velocity-time graph, showing a decrease in velocity over time.


What is the downward trend on a graph?

The downward tend on a graph is called "decay".
