When the position and time move at a steady rate, the velocity is constant, and when it's a horizontal line the velocity is...?

Yup, I agree. Conversely, in a velocity vs time graph, if the line is horizontal the velocity is constant (not changing).
Conceptually, in a position vs time graph you are measuring the velocity of the subject. In a velocity vs time graph you are measuring it's rate of change in velocity (acceleration), although you can extrapolate this from a position/time graph as well.

When the position vs. time graph is a horizontal line, the velocity is 0.

If the placement vs. time graph has a horizontal line, meaning the fee vs. time graph would have a horizontal line too. That line will study 0 velocity in any respect circumstances you recognize velocity V=dx/dt that reads, the fee is comparable to the exchange in distance divided via the exchange in time. so if place is continuous then dx=0 and hence v=0 in any respect time

Velocity is the slope of the position vs time graph. TheOnlyBeldin is correct. When position vs time is horizontal, velocity is zero.
