If a graph curves upward how does that affect the speed of an object?

This entirely depends on what the graph is charting, but generally, an upward curve reflects an increase in some quantity like distance or acceleration and is a positive correlation with speed increase. However, it could be an increase of resistance or friction, which would decrease speed.

How does the distance versus time graph look for an object that is stopped?
You can use the steepness, or slope, of a line in a distance-time graph to determine the speed of an object if speed is constant. The slope of the line is calculated by dividing the change in distance by the change in time for that time interval.
For an object that is speeding up in the positive direction what does the displacement vs. time graph look like?
a graph curving upward
For an object that is speeding up at constant rate how would the acceleration vs time graph look?
A line angled upward
What does an object that is speeding up at a constant rate in the positive direction what does the velocity vs time graph look like?
A line angled upward
For an object that is speeding up at a constant rate in the positive direction what does the velocity vs time graph look like?
A line angled upward

What features can make a graph misleading?
In the case where graphs are of 3d objects or curves, sometimes it is hard to see what shape an object is, or how the curve is moving based on the perspective. You can fix this (at least somewhat) by drawing the graph from different angles or by presenting the graph within a cube
Why is a radioactive curve not a smooth curve?
radioactive curves are not smooth curves because of the points you will be given to plot on the graph sheet
A graph made up of connected lines or curves?
(continuous or discrete)
What variables would be used to show motion of an object on a graph?
A graph and an object.
What would be the shape of a speed - time graph of a body?
If speed changes, then the speed/time graph has up/down curves in it.
What are indifference curves explain it using a graph?
o Indifference curves are curves that have a negative slope and are bowed inward. Each point on the line has the same exact util value. In other words, a person would be the same amount of "happy" at each point on the indifference curve. There are an infinite amount of indifference curves on every graph. G2
