How do you show acceleration on a graph?

To show acceleration on a graph, you typically use a velocity-time graph where acceleration is represented by the slope of the line. A positive slope indicates positive acceleration, while a negative slope indicates deceleration. If the graph is a curve, the acceleration can vary, and the steepness of the curve at any point indicates the instantaneous acceleration. Alternatively, in a position-time graph, acceleration can be inferred from the curvature of the graph; a curved line suggests changing velocity, indicating acceleration.
