What does the slope under the curve of a displacement versus time reveal?

There is no such thing as a "slope under the curve", so I assume that you mean "slope of the curve".
If the curve is d vs. t, where d is displacement and t is time, then the slope at any given point will yield (reveal) the velocity, since velocity is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time. Mathematically speaking, velocity is the first derivative of position with respect to time. The second derivative - change in velocity with respect to time - is acceleration.

Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?
Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.
What does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
The slope of the function on a displacement vs. time graph is (change in displacement) divided by (change in time) which is just the definition of speed. A relatively steep slope indicates a relatively high speed.
Is displacement the slope of the velocity vs time graph?
False
Velocity is the slope of a displacement vs time graph true or false?
False. The slope of a velocity vs time graph is acceleration
What does a less steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
What does the slope of the indifference curve reveal?
marginal rate of substitution
What property on a position-versus time graph represents speed?
The slope of the curve.
How do you find modulus of elasticity from load displacement curve?
The modulus of elasticity is the slope of the linear portion of the curve (the elastic region).
What does the slope of they curve on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The rate of change in accelleration.
The derivative finds the of a curve?
The gradient of the tangents to the curve.
What type of motion is occurring when the slope of a line is not zero?
Assuming the graph is for displacement versus time, the motion should be constant velocity. If velocity versus time motion is constant acceleration
What determines the slope of IS Curve?
mainly the slope of Is curve depends on ; -the slope of investment schedule -the size of the multiplier
What does the slope of a curve represent on a velocity-versus-time graph represent?
The slope of the speed/time graph is the magnitude of acceleration. (It's very difficult to draw a graph of velocity, unless the direction is constant.)
How do you find the slope of a graph if it is a curve?
You find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point of interest.
What is the slope of a curve?
Slope of a Curve A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a curve at a particular point.The slope of a curve at a point is defined to be the slope of the tangent line. Thus the slope of a curve at a point is found using the derivative
How do you calculate slope of a curve?
If the curve is on the xy-plane, finding an expression for dy/dx will give you the slope of a curve at a point.
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?
Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.
