उत्तर
The slope of the speed–time graph gives acceleration.
Explanation:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time. Since speed is the magnitude of velocity, a speed-time graph essentially shows how the speed of an object changes with time. The slope of this graph, which is the change in speed divided by the change in time, thus indicates the acceleration of the object.

(i) In speed time graph uniform motion is given by a straight line parallel to x axis so figure (a) denotes the uniform motion.
(ii) In speed time graph motion with increasing speed is shown by straight line with positive slope so figure (c) denotes the motion with speed increasing.
(iii) In speed time graph motion with decreasing speed is shown by straight line with negative slope so figure (b) denotes the motion with speed decreasing.
(iv) In speed time graph motion with oscillating speed is shown by zigzag line so figure {d) denotes the motion with speed oscillating.
