It means the steepness of the line (which could actually change as you go along the line). Imagine a drawing of the outline of a hill. It starts level (flat, = zero slope) and starts to turn upwards with increasing slope, flattens off at the top (zero slope there) and then goes on with increasing negative slope as you continue down the other side. So the lines on graphs are described in a simliar way. The value of the slope is calculate by the small distance you go up or down for a small distance traveled sideways, divided by that small distance sideways.
If velocity is constant, the slope of the graph on a position vs. time graph will be a straight line. The slope of this line will represent the constant velocity of the object.
Yes!
A positive slope on a velocity-time graph indicates that the object is moving in the positive direction (e.g., right or up) and experiencing a constant acceleration. The steeper the slope, the greater the acceleration of the object.
The slope of a friction vs weight graph represents the coefficient of friction, which is a measure of the resistance encountered when one object slides over another. A higher slope indicates greater friction between the two surfaces, while a lower slope indicates less resistance.
The slope of a speed-time graph represents acceleration. A steeper slope indicates a greater rate of change in speed, which means higher acceleration. Conversely, a shallower slope indicates lower acceleration.
If you mean: y = -3x then the slope is -3 and there is no y intercept
The slope for a straight line graph is the ratio of the amount by which the graph goes up (the rise) for every unit that it goes to the right (the run). If the graph goes down, the slope is negative. For a curved graph, the gradient at any point is the slope of the tangent to the graph at that point.

The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
acceleration
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'.)
velocity
slope of best fit gives mean value?
It means a slow speed.
The slope of a velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
"Slope" is the steepness of the line on any graph.
The slope of a distance-time graph represents speed.
