Acceleration has a dimensionality of length/time^2, so if you were measuring the distance in meters and the time in seconds, the acceleration would be m/s^2.

A distance vs time squared graph shows shows the relationship between distance and time during an acceleration. An example of an acceleration value would be 3.4 m/s^2. The time is always squared in acceleration therefore the graph can show the rate of which an object is moving
acceleration.
The slope increases.
Constant speed. Zero acceleration.
instantaneous acceleration* * * * *No it does not.The graph is a distance-time graph so the coordinates of a point on the graph represent the position (distance) at the specified time. The gradient of the tangent to the curve at that point represents the instantaneous radial velocity. The second derivative at that point, if it exists, would represent the acceleration.
