Question

The slope of a position-time graph of an object gives the speed of the object.

True
False

Answer 1

Technically the slope of a position vs time graph should be its velocity but I'm inclined to believe the supposed answer to this question is "true". Speed is just velocity without the direction.

True

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line on a position-time graph is equal to the velocity of the object, this is speed (magnitude) with the direction. For example, if the slope is -5 m/s this means that the velocity is also - 5m/s
