How does a graph slowing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?

Yes. One shows speed and the other shows acceleration. The variables are usually plotted against time but that need not be the case. They could be plotted against displacement, for example.

When the slope of v t graph is negative and constant what is the nature of acceleration?
acceleration is the slope of the v t graph... so the acceleration is constant and negative. In other words, the object is slowing down at a constant rate.
How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
What is the nature of distance time graph for the motion of an object moving with a changing speed?
An incline represents acceleration, a straight line represents a constant speed and a decline represents slowing down.
How is a speed graph different from an acceleration graph?
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
On speed-time graph the measures acceleration?
On speed-time graph can measure acceleration by getting the slope.
How does a graph showing speed differ from a graph showing acceleration?
Speed can be shown on a graph of position versus time, and acceleration can be shown on a graph of speed versus time.
How is a graph showing speed different from a graph showing acceleration?
Acceleration is how fast you get up to speed.
When the slope of v t graph is negative and constant what is the nature of acceleration?
acceleration is the slope of the v t graph... so the acceleration is constant and negative. In other words, the object is slowing down at a constant rate.
In an acceleration graph showing speed versus time a straight line shows the acceleration is?
A graph that shows speed versus time is not an acceleration graph.The slope of the graph at any point is the acceleration at that time.A straight line shows that the acceleration is constant.
How would a graph of negative and positive acceleration differ?
This depends on what the graph represents. If it is a graph of velocity on the vertical and time on the horizontal, then if acceleration is at a constant rate, the graph will be a straight line with positive slope (pointing 'up'). If acceleration stops, then the graph will be a horizontal line (zero acceleration or deceleration). If it is deceleration (negative acceleration), then the graph will have negative slope (pointing down).
When constructing a graph that measures acceleration a straight line represents?
it is neither slowing down nor speeding up
Is a velocity graph the same thing as an acceleration graph?
Velocity is defined by physicists as both speed and direction, that is to say, if you are moving at 30 feet per second in a northerly direction, that is a velocity. Acceleration means a change in velocity. Physicists consider speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction all to be forms of acceleration; in more everyday usage, acceleration us used to mean speeding up and deceleration means slowing down. So, if your speed increases from 30 feet per second to 40 feet per second, that is acceleration.
Which graph showing constant acceleration correctly places the independent and dependent variables?
Since we cannot see the graph you're looking at, we can't answer the question.
What shape do you expect for a graph showing the position of a motorcycle versus time if the motorcycle is speeding up with a constant acceleration?
The position versus time graph is parabolic.
Infer the motion of a car whose speed-time graph shows a horizontal line followed by a straight line that slopes downward to the bottom of the graph?
The horizontal line represents that the acceleration is zero or constant speed and the line that slopes downward means that the object is slowing down and it is a negative acceleration.
How do you find acceleration of a speed time graph?
Acceleration=change in y graph/change in x graph
What does acceleration look like as a graph?
The answer depends on what is plotted on the graph and what is happening with the acceleration then.
