Solution

The correct option is A True
The Position-Time Graph Of A Uniform Motion :
When an object moves uniformly, it travels the same distance in the same amount of time.
As a result, the Position-time graph for an object in uniform rectilinear motion is a straight line inclined to the time axis.
When a body's speed decreases over time, the position-time graph of the moving body has a negative slope.
