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) 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 the displacement.

!!! note
If there is any instantaneous jump on a position-, velocity-, or acceleration-time graph (which is impossible in reality but may be used to simplify matters), a dashed line must be used to connect the two sides to ensure that the line remains a function.
### Uniformly accelerated motion ### Uniformly accelerated motion
**Uniformly accelerated motion** is the constant acceleration in a **straight line**, or the constant increase in velocity over equal time intervals. The five key $suvat$ variables can be used to represent the various information in uniformly accelerated motion. **Uniformly accelerated motion** is the constant acceleration in a **straight line**, or the constant increase in velocity over equal time intervals.
