Yes, that's right (especially if you can't spell accclellarration :wink:) …

but why are you asking?

What's worrying you? :confused:
 
Slope of zero on a velocity-time graph shows that the velocity is constant at that point in time.
Slopes on velocity-time graphs are representations of acceleration.
positive slope = positive acceleration =
negative slope = negative acceleration
slope of zero = zero acceleration = constant motion
