The gradient of a displacement-time graph is velocity.

Do you know what velocity is??

thnx

OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

Velocity is a vector expression of the displacement that an object or particle undergoes with respect to time . So in simple english, velocity basically means your speed. The standard unit of velocity (also known as speed ) is the meter per second (m/s). Can you see on your graph how there is a displacement (m) axis vs time (s) axis? What your slope means how far you travel per second.
