It means there is no movement towards or away from the point from which distances are measured - usually the origin. The object can be moving in a transverse direction at any speed and the graph would not show it.

What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity
What does horizontal line represent on graph of distance vs time?
constant speed
What type of line is always found on a graph of constant speed?
it depends on what the graph is. if it is a distance vs time graph, the line will be a line with the slope being the speed/total time if it is a speed vs. time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=the speed if it is an acceleration vs time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=0
Is it false that a distance-versus-time graph will never show a horizontal line?
It is false
Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?
You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.
What line on a distance-versus-time graph means that the object is at rest?
A straight horizontal one does.
What does it mean when a distance-time graph is straight line?
It means that the object in question is moving at a constant speed.If the graph is a straight horizontal line, then the speed is zero.
A horozontal line on a distance time graph means the object is doing what?
A horizontal line means that the distance is not changing, therefore we can infer that the object in question is stationary - i.e. not moving.
Can a distance versus time graph ever show a horizontal line?
if the speed is zero then the distance versus time line will be horizontal
A distance time graph for acceleration is always a?
a horizontal line :)
In a distance vs time graph if the line is perfectly horizontal what does that mean about the velocity of the object?
horizontal
What does it mean when a line graph is a horizontal line?
It means that the function is constant.
What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?
It means there is no velocity - it is at rest and nothing is moving. The slope of the line is velocity - a horizontal line is zero slope = zero velocity
When plotting data on a graph showing distance verus time what would a horizontal line indicate?
time is normally the horizontal line
What does horizontal line represent on graph of distance vs time?
constant speed
What type of line is always found on a graph of constant speed?
it depends on what the graph is. if it is a distance vs time graph, the line will be a line with the slope being the speed/total time if it is a speed vs. time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=the speed if it is an acceleration vs time graph, the line will be horizontal at y=0
