I have an unusual question. I am getting confused with my graphs. I completed a few graphs and one in particular, a displacement-time graph was presented as displacement (cm) and time (s). Velocity is usually always written as m/s. Per the graph, would I comply and fill in my Velocity as cm/s or m/s?

Displacement-time graphs demonstrate how a moving object's displacement changes over time. In a displacement-time graph, the line's slope or gradient is equal to the object's velocity. The faster the object moves, the steeper the line (and the larger the gradient).
Calculate the total area of the shaded portions between the line and the time axis to find the displacement. The area of both the triangle and the rectangle must be computed and added together to get the total displacement.
