How does the slope of a speed-time graph give the acceleration of a body moving along a straight line?

उत्तर
Slope of a graph is given as rate of change of y coordinates to the x coordinate. In speed time graph speed is on the y axis and time is on the x axis. And we define acceleration as rate of change of speed with respect to time. So slope of a speed time graph gives acceleration.
