    Answer: like a linear equation where the slope is the constant value of the acceleration.

    Explanation:

    As you know, acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity over time, so if we integrate the acceleration over the time, we obtain the equation for the velocity (plus a constant, which is the initial velocity)

    If we have a constant acceleration;

    a (t) = c

    we integrate it and get:

    v (t) = c*t + constant.

    This is a linear equation, so the graph where the acceleration is constant, looks like a linear equation with slope equal to the constant.
