h3. Graphical Representation 

The [Law of Change] for the [One-Dimensional Motion with Constant Velocity|1-D Motion (Constant Velocity)] [model] can be expressed:

{latex}\begin{large} \[ v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} \]\end{large}{latex}

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