Answer:

False.

Rather, the velocity component at any point is equal to the ****slope**** of the tangent line of the position-time graph at that point.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, velocity at any point, v= dx/dt at that point; which is the instantaneous slope of the tangent of the position-time graph at that point.
