Hey I am wondering
a.) What does the slope of an acceleration vs. net force graph represent?
b.) What does the slope of a mass^-1 vs. acceleration graph represent?

a) the slope represents the mass of the object (F=ma, if you divide F by a, you get m). This is assuming Net Force is the y axis and a is the x axis. If it was the other way around, slope would represent 1/m, or mass^-1
b) If you divide mass^-1 by acceleration, you get 1/(ma), which is Force^-1

Assuming a nonzero acceleration partly a, then velocity will strengthen consistently and is a line with a slope being the acceleration. If acceleration is helpful then that could be a good line, if its damaging then its damaging yet place will strengthen like a sq.. So no, its not a at as quickly as line.

Exactly what the OP said.
a) Mass^-1
b) Force^-1
