the [position] of an object executing motion with constant [velocity] versus time, then the equation above becomes exactly the equation for the slope of the graph. Since we know that _v_ is constant, the slope is constant and the graph will be a line. {tip:title=Milestone Problem:} *[A Velocity for Words]* ({excerpt-include:A Velocity for Words|nopanel=true}){tip}
