Step 1. The integrated zero order rate law is kt=[A]0−[A]tkt=[A]_0-[A]_t, which rearranges to [A]t=−kt+[A]0[A]_t=-kt+[A]_0.

Step 2. This is exactly the straight-line form y=mx+cy=mx+c with y=[A]ty=[A]_t, x=tx=t, slope m=−km=-k, and intercept c=[A]0c=[A]_0.

Step 3. Plotting [A]t[A]_t (y-axis) against tt (x-axis) therefore gives a straight, downward-sloping line, with the line crossing the y-axis at the initial concentration [A]0[A]_0 and having a constant negative slope of magnitude kk -- in contrast to the c …
