The Law of Change for the One-Dimensional Motion with Constant Velocity model can be expressed:

Unknown macro: {latex}

\begin

Unknown macro: {large}

[ v = \frac

Unknown macro: {Delta x}
Unknown macro: {Delta t}

]\end

which is remeniscent of the equation for the slope of a line. In fact, if we plot a position versus time graph, 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.
