On a speed-graph a horizontal line shows the change in speed is what?

The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.

What does a horizontal line mean on a speed time graph?
Constant speed..
What is the advantages of horizontal fragmentation?
To speed up queries
In a graph showing time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis What would a straight horizontal line indicate?
The line would indicate motion at a constant speed.
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
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.
Does a horizontal line on a distance time graph show constant speed?
No. It shows zero speed. Velocity is distance/unit time. The slope of the line shows change in distance / change in time. Since distance never changes as time changes, the change in distance is zero. Alternatively, the slope of a horizontal line is zero. If zero speed is considered "constant", then yes, it does show constant speed but the speed is zero.
If a gragh shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the gragh would indicate what?
A constant speed.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
constant speed
What kind of graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line?
Acceleration
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on a vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate?
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis straight horizontal line across the graph would indicate what?
The straight horizontal line on the graph says: "Whatever time you look at, the speed is always the same". This is the graph of an object moving with constant speed.
What is the steepness of a line graph equal to its vertical change divided by its horizontal change is referred to as the?
Speed
If a graph shows time on the horizontal axis and speed on the vertical axis a straight horizontal line across the graph would indacate?
that would indicate that the object is at rest (static object) :D
What kind of graph shows an object's speed?
Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.
What is on the horizontal axis of a speed graph?
The independent variable, in this case time, is on the horizontal axis of a speed graph.
