What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is changing?
The slope of a position/time graph is the speed (magnitude of velocity).If the graph's slope is changing, that means the speed is changing, andthat would be accelerated motion.
When velocity is changing what is happening to the slope on a position versus time graph?
That slope is the 'speed' of the motion. If the slope is changing, then the speed is changing. That's 'accelerated' motion. (It doesn't matter whether the speed is growing or shrinking. It's still 'accelerated' motion. 'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.)
How would you describe the slope of the graph showing slow speed?
Im guessing that this is a distance over time graph. if so, the gradient of the line of best fit would have a low value. (not be very steep)

Find the slope of the graph and describe what it means in the context of this problem?
The slope of the graph does not exist. And in the context of "this" problem it means absolutely nothing.
How would you describe slope?
the gradient of a graph at any point.
What does the slope of an acceleration time graph indicate?
The rate at which acceleration is changing.
The slope of velocity time graph is changing what does it indicate?
There is acceleration going on.
What does the slope of a speed vs time graph represent?
magnitude of acceleration at every point on the graph
Does the slope of a distance-graph give average speed?
A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way. For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.
Why does a constant speed have a slope of 0 on a graph of speed v time?
Because a slope of zero indicates that the y-value (speed) isn't changing.
How would you describe the slope of a graph showing fast speed?
If it is distance from a point versus time, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, it would show a steep vertical climb on the graph. The steeper vertical change, the faster, but never completely vertical. Large "rise" (distance) over short "run" (time). With 0 acceleration, the graph is a straight line.
