An energy versus time graph shows how much energy is spent as set intervals of time. If the amount is constant, the line is a straight line. if the amount of energy changes, the line becomes a curve.

Depends on the sort of graph. Time is common is be on the x axis. Frequency may be fro a Power Spectrum Density Function.
The main way that a graph can be defined as a function is if it passes the vertical line test; this means that each individual x must correspond to one specific value of y. In the situation you mentioned, we don't know if the graph in question really is a function, because we only see the point at y; we don't know if the graph loops around on itself and fails the vertical line test at any other point.
Yuo cannot include a graphical illustration here. Take a look at the Wikipedia, under "exponential function" and "logistic function". Basically, the exponential function increases faster and faster over time. The logistics function initially increases similarly to an exponential function, but then eventually flattens out, tending toward a horizontal asymptote.
A speed graph measures the distance devided over time. Acceleration graph measures the change in speed over time.
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking about, but if you're asking about the difference between relations and functions, here's the answer.In a relation, a value in the domain may have one or more values in the range. That is, for every x on graph there may be more than one value of y. In terms of word problems and such, x is the independent variable (i.e. time) and y is the dependent variable (i.e. temperature). Basically, if you graph a relation, you can draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph and that line may intersect one or more points on the graph. A circle or a horizontal parabola is a relation, not a function.In a function, for every value in the domain there is only one value in the range. That is, for every value of x there is one and only one value of y. If you draw a vertical line anywhere on the graph of the function, it will only intersect the graph once. If it intersects the graph more than once, then that graph is not a function. An example of a function would be a vertical parabola, a line, or a cubic.Hope that helps.
