Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. ... When an object has a negative acceleration (it's slowing down), the acceleration occurs in the opposite direction as the movement of the object

A vector is something which has both, direction and magnitude.
Acceleration for sure has magnitude but how do we know if it has direction? If you think about it, acceleration should be a vector. When it's along the direction of motion, it increases the speed of object.
When it is against the motion of direction, it decreases it speed.
It is clear that changing the direction in which magnitude of acceleration acts, motion of body is affected. This is precisely the definition of vectors.
Hence, acceleration is a vector.
hope it helps☺️
