It means you are going very fast
What does a steep looks like
It represents the fact that a small change in the variable which is plotted on the horizontal axis with the given scale, is associated with a large change in the variable potted on the vertical axis with its scale.Note that the steepness can be changed by simply increasing the scale factor on the horizontal axis or decreasing it on the vertical axis.
The major importance of a line graph is that it allows a person to visually see the relationship between two major variables. A line graph contains a vertical axis and a horizontal axis.
the x-axis
on a line graph, the independent variable is plotted on the horizontal x- axis, and the dependent variable is plotted on the vertical y- axis.
With distance on the x axis and time on the y axis a steep line would indicate a short distance traveled over a long period of time, depending on the scale of the graph.
No. The distance of a line on a graph will not affect how steep it is. Distance does not affect slope.
Typically distance is plotted on the y-axis of a distance-time graph.
Speed = distance / time A line graph with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis could be used to determine speed. The speed would equal the slope of the line. Alternatively, a line graph with distance/time on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis would show speed. The acceleration would equal the slope of the line.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
its the x-axis on a line graph
In a velocity-time graph it will be the time axis (where velocity = 0). On a distance-time graph it will be a line parallel to the time axis: distance = some constant (which may be 0).
The constant acceleration
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.
It means that as time goes on, the distance increases quickly.
the relationship between two variables
The slope of a line tells a person what the rate of change is for a certain amount of time. For instance, on a graph where distance is the X axis and time is the Y axis, the slope will tell the velocity, literally, distance/time.
