Does motion affect the speed of an object?
Short answer: yes. An object in "motion" has a "speed" simply by virtue of its being in motion. An object possessing a speed is inherently in motion. In this sense they have similar meanings. Speed is a rate of change in position. Motion is a change in position (in progress). In this sense, speed is more specific than motion in that speed has a quantitative value. Conversely, there can be no "speed" without "motion". To be complete, "velocity" is even more specific than speed in that it contains a rate of change in position together with a direction. That is, speed is a "scalar" quantity, and "velocity" is a vector quantity.
How you describe the motion of the object?
When it changes position or something to do with the speed.
Is motion the change in speed?
no motion is the movement itself, the change in position of an object with respect to time. rate of change of speed is acceleration. change in speed is just change in speed.
4 What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a position vs time graph is constant?
Motion at constant speed.
Which characteristic of motion could change without changing the velocity?
Well, we know that velocity describes the speed and direction of motion, so you can't change either of those. We don't usually think of 'position' as a characteristic of motion, but if we try hard to please you, then we might observe that the position changes while velocity remains constant.

The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
How are positions and motion related?
Motion is change of position. but remember both must always be related to some 'datum' position or state of motion.
How will you describe the motion of the object?
When it changes position or something to do with the speed.

Zero.

Velocity
