Accelerating can be seen on a distance versus time graph true or false?

Indirectly, yes. If the graph is a straight line there is no acceleration, if the graph is not linear there is acceleration.

Which two types of graphs can you use to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
Speed-Versus-Time Graph and Distance-Versus-Time graph are the two types of graphs that can be used to analyze the motion of an accelerating object.
Is it false that a distance-versus-time graph will never show a horizontal line?
It is false
Is it false that a distance versus time graph will never show a vertical line?
Yes it is.
How can you tell if an object is accelerating in a distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
You can use a distance versus time graph to analyze the motion of an accelerating object?
The slope at any point is the velocity, so you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that graph is the acceleration. So you can construct a graph of that. The slope at any point on that is the rate of change of acceleration. And so on.
A negative slope on the velocity vs time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating true or false?
its false
What type of graph is used for acceleration?
Speed-Versus-Time, Distance-Versus-Time.
What does a curved line represent on a time vs distance graph?
The curved line on a time vs. distance graph represents that the object is accelerating.
If an object is accelerating what would the distance time graph look like?
curve
True or false a negative slope on the velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is not accelerating?
False. It has negative acceleration.
What does the curve on a distance versus time graph represent?
speed
What does the slope represent on a distance versus time graph?
speed
