Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have velocity along the y axis and time along the x axis, this is a velocity v time graph which is an acceleration graph. The slope of the line in this graph IS the acceleration. We can use 2 points and the slope formula to solve for the acceleration:

(0, 0) and (1, 3):


m=(3-0)/(1-0)=3 m/s squared, choice D.
