Position-vs-Time

Velocity-vs-Time

Acceleration-vs-Time
The slope at any point along the curve in the position-time graph will be the velocity.
What kind of curve does this look like?
Looking at the acceleration and velocity vectors

The slope at any point
along the position - time curve will represent the velocity at that point.

The slope at any point
along the velocity - time curve will represent the acceleration at that point.
