Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When you calculate the SLOPE of a line segment, what does the SLOPE represent? (Choose all that apply) the Distance traveled the Displacement the Velocity the Acceleration None of the above

The slope of any time graph can not give you distance or displacement except for position - time graph.

When you plot either distance or displacement against time, that is, distance time graph or displacement time graph, you can get speed or velocity as the slope of the line segment.

You can only acceleration as a slope in a line of best fit if velocity is plotted against time. That is, in a velocity time graph.
