Okay so I am in gr.11 physics and I did the velocity vs time graph and my slope is 4.

what do i do for the acceleration ?

i suck at physics lol!

Welcome to PF!

You need to post questions like this in Homework normally.

On your velocity vs time graph, time is on the x-axis and velocity is on the y-axis.

Gradient = y / x = Change in Velocity / Time = Acceleration.
