I think you got your answer .....
please mark as brain list and follow me .
Let an object is moving with uniform acceleration.
Velocity Time Graph
Let the initial velocity of the object = u
Let the object is moving with uniform acceleration, a.
Let object reaches at point B after time, t and its final velocity becomes, v
Draw a line parallel to x-axis DA from point, D from where object starts moving.
Draw another line BA from point B parallel to y-axis which meets at E at y-axis.
Let OE = time, t
Now, from the graph,
BE = AB + AE
⇒ v = DC + OD (Since, AB = DC and AE = OD)
⇒ v = DC + u (Since, OD = u)
⇒ v = DC + u ------------------- (i)
Now, Acceleration (a)

-----(ii)
By substituting the value of DC from (ii) in (i) we get
v
=

u
⇒
v=u+at
Above equation is the relation among initial vlocity (
u
), final velocity (
v
), acceleration (a) and time (t). It is called first equation of motion.
