to calculate the area of any straight line graph or part of a graph, you need to select two points.
for example (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).
once you have selected the points you put then into the equation
m=delta y/delta x (change in y divided by the change in x)
which is easier as
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
and m = the gradient

How can you find the instantaneous acceleration of an object whose curve on the velocity time graph is a straight line?
It is the gradient (slope) of the line.
What is the difference between a velocity time graph and a position time graph?
Simply put, a velocity time graph is velocity (m/s) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X and a position time graph is distance (m) in the Y coordinate and time (s) in the X if you where to find the slope of a tangent on a distance time graph, it would give you the velocity whereas the slope on a velocity time graph would give you the acceleration.
What is a velocity time graph in detail?
A velocity time graph is still a velocity time graph - no matter the degree of detail that you look at it.
What equal accleration on a speed vs time graph?
The gradient of the graph.
What is velocity-time curve?
The graph of velocity-time is the acceleration.
