Slope of a Velocity–Time Graph gives (a) the Distance (b) the Displacement (c) the Acceleration (d) the Speed

Answer: (c) the acceleration

Explanation: The velocity of an item varies as it moves from one location to another in a certain amount of time. Acceleration is the slope of the velocity graph. Because as an item travels from one location to another, its velocity does not remain constant.
