The slope represents an object that is moving.
The slope represents an object that is moving.

A slope that is observed taking a upward path shows that the object is accelerating.
A slope that is observed taking a upward path shows that the object is accelerating.

The slope represents an object that is moving at a constant velocity, accelerating, or stationary.
The slope represents an object that is moving at a constant velocity, accelerating, or stationary.

A slope that is observed taking a downward path shows that the object is accelerating.

Answer 1

The two correct answers that are the MOST correct in relation to the slope of a line on a position-time graph are:

1. The slope represents an object that is moving.
2. The slope represents an object that is moving at a constant velocity, accelerating, or stationary.

A slope that is observed in an upward path indicates that the object is moving in a positive direction, but it does not necessarily mean that the object is accelerating; it could also be moving at a constant positive velocity.
