On a position-time or displacement-time graph:
- The object is not moving if the slope is zero.
- The object is moving at a constant *velocity* if the slope is linear.
- The object is moving with constant acceleration if the slope increases exponentially.
- The object is moving with constant deceleration if the slope decreases exponentially.
- The gradient of the graph at any time is the object's *instantaneous velocity* at that exact time.
The slope of the line in a position-time graph represents that object's velocity. If the slope is not linear, the object is not moving uniformly (at a constant speed).
A **velocity-time graph** is similar to a position-time graph but replaces the position on the vertical axis with an object's velocity instead.

On a velocity-time graph, the object is moving with constant acceleration/deceleration if the slope is linear.
On a velocity-time graph, the slope represents that object's acceleration. If the slope is not linear, the object is not accelerating uniformly (accelerating at a constant rate)
The area below a velocity-time graph at a given time is equal to the displacement (change in position) at that time, since $ms^{-1}×s=m$. When finding the displacement of an object when it is accelerating, breaking up the graph into a rectangle and a triangle then adding their areas will give their resultant displacement.
