If a velocity-time graph (starting at (0,0) and ending at (10,10) has a positive linear trend, then what would the distance-time and acceleration-time graphs look like?

They would look like this:

Explanation:

MF docs

For the 1st graph you can see that #(DeltaV)/(Deltat)=10/10=1#

This gives a straight line of gradient 1 meaning constant acceleration.

This gives the 3rd graph of acceleration / time to be a horizontal line of gradient zero.

The 2nd graph of distance / time is of the form :

#s=1/2at^2#

This gives you the parabola.
