Is the steepness of a line on a motion graph is called a slope?
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
How do you tell whether a graph shows a constant or variable rate of change?
The slope of each point on the line on the graph is the rate of change at that point. If the graph is a straight line, then its slope is constant. If the graph is a curved line, then its slope changes.
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 a slope on a graph?
The line on the graph that shows what the data is saying.
How do you know if the slope is zero from a graph?
A line on a graph with zero slope is a horizontalline.' Y ' is the same number at every point on the line.
