If you want the graph to show the acceleration of the ball against time, then the graph is a horizontal line. If you want the graph to show the velocity of the ball against time, then the graph is a straight line sloping downward. If you want the graph to show the height of the ball against time, then the graph is a parabola that opens downward.
Mark off the x-axis in seconds. Mark off the y-axis in meters per second. The graph is a straight line, starting at the origin, sloping down with a slope of -9.8 meters per second per second. It never gets above the x-axis, and 'y' is negative everywhere on the graph. That's because the velocity is always negative (speed directed downward).
The Average Velocity on a position time graph or a velocity time graph.
the gradient of the graph
Velocity is NOT the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the area under the acceleration vs. time graph. Velocity is the slope of a position vs. time graph, though. For you Calculus Junkies, v = the integral of acceleration with respect to time.

A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.
When there is a curved line going upwards on a graph it means the distance is increasing
take the slope of every change in the velocity time graph and plot it
Your acceleration vs. Time graph is the slope of your velocity vs. time graph
