Suppose the position-time graph is a straight line, in this case, the velocity is constant. This means that there is no acceleration.
If the graph is curved, velocity is changing, which means that there is acceleration. If the graph is concave, the slopes will get more positive with time. This means that there is positive acceleration. If the graph is cap-shaped, the slope will become more negative with time. This is known as negative acceleration.
