Determine when a particle is moving down from a position graph

The video tutorial explains the concept of particle movement by focusing on position rather than path. It clarifies that a particle's position at different times is not its path. The tutorial discusses how negative velocity can be represented by a negative slope on a position graph, emphasizing the importance of using slope instead of velocity. It also covers how to interpret graphs to determine when a particle is moving down, specifically identifying intervals where this occurs.

Why is it important to avoid using the term 'velocity' when discussing the position graph?
