explain graphs in first,secnd,zero order reactions

Due to paucity of time it would not be possible for us to solve all your queries. We are providing solution to one of your queries. Try solving the rest of the questions yourself and if you face any difficulty then do get back to us.

For Fisrt order reaction , the possible graphs are given as:
Plot of rate of reaction vs Concentration as: For 1st order, rate of reaction directly depends on one concentration term concentration [A] so, the slop is a straight line passing from origin (which shows increase in [A] will increase rate too.) (Fig 1)
 
Plot of  Concentration vs time i.e. integrated rate equation: In 1st order, 
we have the equation as log[A] = -(k/2.303) xt + log [A0] here, it is clear that increase in log[A] term will decrease time or increase in time will decrease log[A] and so the slope of graph is downward as fig 2.)

Plot of Half life vs initial concentration [A0]: Here value of half life is independednt of initial conentration and so the slop of the graph is a straight horizontal line as fig.3 ) 
The graphs are given as:
