The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.<
So the steeper it is the bigger change there will be ~

∙ 16y agoWith the x-axis being time and the y-axis being distance, the steeper the line on a time v. distance graph means that speed is greater. The greater the speed, the steeper the line will plot out on the graph.

Think of how distance per unit time is velocity (miles per hour or meters per second). If that is constant, then the slope of the line should be constant - you will travel the same number of miles or meters for each successive hour or second. If the velocity changes, then the slope of the line will change.

What does the slope of a time vs distance graph equal?
Slope of time Vs distance graph gives the inverse of velocity.
What is the meaning of each of the following features of a velocity-time graph the slope of the line?
The slope of a line on a velocity-time graph is acceleration.
Does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph means the object is moving at a constant speed?
You cannot. A distance vs time graph only measures radial distance - that is, distance from the origin to the object. If the object is going around the origin along a circular path, the distance vs time graph will not show any change in distance.The [incorrect] answer that you are required to give is that the graph will be a horizontal line during that period. But as explained above, the horizontal graph only means the object has no movement towards or away from the origin, not that it has no movement.
What do slopes of straight lines on a position vs time graph mean?
The question seems a bit ambiguous, but on a time versus distance graph, the slope indicates velocity (speed). So for instance, if you plot time on the X axis and distance on the Y axis, a steeper slope means greater velocity (more distance covered in less time).
What does an downward sloping diagonal line mean in position vs time graph?
It means that either the distance is measured from the finish-line, or else the object is moving backwards, because the distance is shrinking as time goes on.
If a line on a distance-time graph becomes steeper what has happened to the speed of the object?
It has increased.
The slope of a line on a distance time graph represents?
The slope of a line on a distance-time graph represents the speed or velocity. The steeper the line is and the greater the slope of the line is, the faster the object is moving.
Physics what is the meaning of a steeper line or greater slope to the graph of reaction ditance versus speed?
The greater the ratio of y to x
When the value of the slope gets bigger the graph of a line does what?
It gets steeper.
When measuring density what does a steeper line on your graph mean?
it is less dense
Change in slope affects graph how?
makes line steeper or flatter
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a graph line with steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a line graph with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How does a graph line with a steeper slope compared to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
What number if used as a slope would produce a graph steeper than the function y -5x?
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
How does a graph line with a steeper slope compare to one witha shallower slope?
It changes in x and in y
