SteveThe question is based on a misconception. The displacement-time graph of a point travelling from the origin (O), in a straight line at a constant velocity (v) is a straight line through the origin with gradient = v. The graph for an object going from O to a point A and returning immediately is a triangle. If that object spends some time at A, then the graph is a trapezium. The graph for an object travelling in a circle around O - at a constant or variable angular velocity - is a horizontal line. None of these graphs could be described as parabolas.

What equals the displacement on a velocity-time graph?
Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
Slope of a displacement time graph?
It is the instantaneous speed in the direction in which the displacement is measured.
A function wahose graph is parabola?
Any equation where variable a = some multiple of variable b2 + constant will graph a parabola.
What is the condition of the position-time graph when the velocity-time graph passes through zero?
As, in the velocity-time graph, curves passes through zero means 'when time is zero velocity is zero'. Velocity is time derivative of displacement. So displacement is maximum or minimum when time is zero in position-time graph.
What variable is placed on the x axis in a displacement time graph?
It is time.
