An example of acceleration by decreasing speed is when a car is traveling at 50 miles per hour and then applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down to 30 miles per hour. The decrease in speed over time represents a negative acceleration, or deceleration, as the car is still changing its velocity.
Acceleration refers to increasing or decreasing speed. When an object changes its speed, it is said to be accelerating, whether the speed is increasing or decreasing. Changing direction is related to a different aspect of motion called velocity.
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.
A car can be slowing down while still accelerating if its speed is decreasing but the direction of its velocity is changing. For example, if a car is moving in a curve, its speed may be decreasing but it is still accelerating towards the center of the turn. This is known as centripetal acceleration.
Acceleration in science refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, which can involve increasing speed, decreasing speed, or changing direction. It is a vector quantity that describes how an object's motion is changing over time.
If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.

Increasing speed, decreasing speed, and change of direction
No, that is a contradiction.
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. It means decreasing speed and can be measured as negative acceleration.
True

Acceleration is the a change in speed or direction. Once a vehicle reaches a point where it is maintaining its speed but no longer increasing (or decreasing) the acceleration is zero. Even though you may be moving rapidly it is at a constant speed.
When a moving object is slowing down, i.e. its speed is decreasing.
If the car is going at a constant speed of 100 km/h, then its acceleration is zero. Acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity, and since the car's speed is not increasing or decreasing, there is no acceleration.
When acceleration is opposite to (against) the direction of motion, the magnitude of the velocity decreases, meaning that the object slows down. An example is the application of the brakes to slow or stop a car. During the time that the pressure remains on the brake pedal, the car's acceleration is negative ... meaning opposite to the direction of motion ... and the car's speed is decreasing.
If the speed of the car is decreasing while the car is still moving in a straight line, this means that the velocity and acceleration are in the same direction. This is because the car is decelerating, which results in a negative acceleration in the same direction as the velocity. This negative acceleration causes the speed of the car to decrease over time.
