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 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.
What is the correlation on a graph?
a correlation on a graph is when the line of best fit is positive, negative or none.
What is a 4 quadrant graph used for?
to graph not only positive numbers, but negative ones as well
What shows a correlation which may be positive or negative between two sets of data?
I believe you are asking how to identify a positive or negative correlation between two variables, for which you have data. I'll call these variables x and y. Of course, you can always calculate the correlation coefficient, but you can see the correlation from a graph. An x-y graph that shows a positive trend (slope positive) indicates a positive correlation. An x-y graph that shows a negative trend (slope negative) indicates a negative correlation.
What is the trend of a graph?
The trend of a graph is the slope of any line on the graph that indicated a positive or growth factor and/or a negative or decaying factor. If the slope goes negative, the graph's line will go down thus indicating decay. If the slope becomes positive, the graph's line will go up thus indicating growth.
What part of the graph represents uniform positive and negative acceleration Calculate this acceleration.?
The answer depends on whether the graph is that of speed v time or distance v time.
What type of acceleration does a trapezium on a velocity time graph represents?
A period of constant positive acceleration;a second period of zero acceleration; a third period of constant negative acceleration.
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.
Can acceleration ever be negative?
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
What happens to acceleration when speed decreases on a speed time graph?
Acceleration is negative.
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 the graph which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
AB
A negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates a negative acceleration?
True
What does a positive slope on a velocity and time graph mean in terms of motion?
Acceleration
If the acceleration is increasing with time will the velocity graph be a straight line concave up or concave down?
Concave up. "Acceleration is increasing with time" tells us that the derivative of acceleration is positive. Since acceleration is the derivative of velocity, this means that the second derivative of velocity is positive. By definition, having a non-negative second derivative means that velocity is concave up.
What does a negative slope on an acceleration vs time graph mean?
No. A negative slope means that the object is slowing down. If the object were not moving, then its velocity would be zero. The graph would be a straight horizontal line that just lays there on the time axis.
What is the correlation on a graph?
a correlation on a graph is when the line of best fit is positive, negative or none.
