It means that the object is moving at a high speed in a direction towards or away from the reference point.

Does a line on a graph become less steep when the distance increases?

No. The distance of a line on a graph will not affect how steep it is. Distance does not affect slope.


The distance time graph for constant speed is a what line?

Diagonal line


What does a steep line on a distance time graph mean?

With distance on the x axis and time on the y axis a steep line would indicate a short distance traveled over a long period of time, depending on the scale of the graph.


What does a stright diagonal line on a distance time graph mean?

It means that the speed of the object is constant.


What does a steep straight line sloping upwards on a distance time graph indicate?

It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.


What does it mean when there is a steep line on a line graph when x axis is time and y axis is distance?

It means you are going very fast

What does a steep line in a graph look like?

It looks for all the world exactly as if it were a steep line.


Does a straight diagonal line on a distance versus time graph indicate constant speed?

Yes. Speed is the rate at which distance changes over time. In calculus terms v = dx/dt, or the slope of the distance vs. time graph. If the slope of the distance vs. time graph is a straight line, the speed is constant.


If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis and the speed is steadily increasing Will it be a straight diagonal line?

Well, no. If the graph is a straight diagonal line, then the DISTANCE is steadily increasing, not the speed. This would translate into a constant speed. If the speed is steadily increasing, the object would travel more distance per unit time as we move along the horizontal axis. Meaning, the graph would curve upward.


What does an upward sloping diagonal line mean in position vs time graph?

It means that either the distance is measured from the starting-line and the object is moving forward, or else the distance is measured from the finish-line and the object is moving backwards, because the distance is growing as time goes on. If the upward sloping diagonal line is straight, it means the speed is constant. (not velocity)


What does the diagonal line represent in a line graph?

The diagonal lines show how the values change over time, also known as a trend
