That depends on what quantity is graphed.

It also depends on what kind of acceleration is taking place ...
continuous change of speed or continuous change of direction.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed, then the graph is a connected series of straight-line pieces. 
Each straight piece slopes up if speed is increasing, or down if speed
is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows speed vs time, and the acceleration is a change in
direction only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since speed is
constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in speed only, then the graph is a straight horizontal line, since direction
is constant.

-- If the graph shows direction vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction, then the graph is a connected series of pieces of line. 
Each piece may be straight if the direction is changing at a constant rate,
or curved if the direction is changing at a rate which grows or shrinks. 
Each piece may slope up if the angle that defines the direction is growing,
or may slope down if the angle that defines the direction is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a
change in speed, then the graph is a connected series of pieces
of curves.  Each piece curves up if speed is increasing, or down if
speed is decreasing.

-- If the graph shows distance vs time, and the acceleration is a change
in direction only, then the graph is a straight line sloping up, since speed
is constant.

Consider the following statement:
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The statement "The magnetic field of a magnet comes out of the north pole and goes into the south pole" is imprecise

Explanation:

This is because the zero divergence equation (∇ · B = 0 ) is valid for any magnetic field, even if it is time dependent rather than static. Physically, it means that there are no magnetic charges otherwise we would have ∇ · B ∝ ρmag instead of ∇ · B = 0. Consequently, the magnetic field lines never begin or end anywhere in space; instead they form closed loops or run from infinity to infinity.

a linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y equals 16 and it's graph contains the point (4,5). Find the slope of the li
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  \bold{\text{Slope (m)}=\dfrac{1}{4}}

<u>Explanation:</u>

A linear equation is of the form: y = mx + b   where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept (where it crosses the y-axis)

x + 4y = 16

     4y = -x + 16

       y = -\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{16}{4}

       y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+4

The y-intercept (b) = 4

Next, find the slope given point (4, 5) and b = 4

y=mx+b\\\\5=m(4)+4\\\\1=4m\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}=m\\\\\\\\\large\boxed{Slope (m)=\dfrac{1}{4}}
