-- If the graph displays speed against time, then speed of zero is indicated
wherever the graph-line touches the x-axis.
-- If the graph displays distance against time, then speed of zero is indicated
wherever the graph-line is horizontal.
-- If the graph displays acceleration (magnitude) against time, then the graph
can tell you when speed is increasing or decreasing, but it doesn't show what
the actual speed is.
That would be true, in the case of a graph of speed vs time.
On a speed versus time graph, acceleration is represented by the line on the graph. If acceleration is constant, the line cuts through equally between the axis and starts from the zero point.
A speed graph has a slope that is greater than zero that is shown on an object accelerating. Graphs that show straight means constant speed and is kept at a negative slope.
If the curve is horizontal, then the speed is constant. If that horizontal graph lies on the x-axis, then the constant speed is zero, and the object is stationary.
That would depend on the type of axes. If it is an acceleration vs. time graph, then there would be a continual reading of 0m/s/s acceleration, and the graph would be a straight line indicating 0m/s/s at all times. If it is a velocity vs time graph, then there would be a constant value of velocity at all times. If it is a displacement vs time graph, there would be a straight, continuously increasing line.
That would be true, in the case of a graph of speed vs time.
Constant speed ... zero acceleration.
For motion at constant speed along a straight line, the acceleration is zero.
The graph you described is a speed-time plot. If the line is horizontal, that indicates no change in speed over time. In other words, there is no acceleration (acceleration is zero), since there is no change in speed.

Constant speed. Zero acceleration.
A speed graph has a slope that is greater than zero that is shown on an object accelerating. Graphs that show straight means constant speed and is kept at a negative slope.
To graph a negitive . You would go three spaces back from zero.
If the curve is horizontal, then the speed is constant. If that horizontal graph lies on the x-axis, then the constant speed is zero, and the object is stationary.
Because a slope of zero indicates that the y-value (speed) isn't changing.
