Expert Solution
Step 1

 Average velocity of an object is total displacement divided by the total time taken. and average velocity is may be constant or not its depend upon velocity .if velocity is constant then average velocity is also constant and position time graph having constant slope and if velocity is not constant then average velocity will be not constant and position time graph will be curve linear  slope

  average velocity=total displacement/ total time
