Since the particle is in linear motion, that is, linear acceleration, a=v/t---(1)
Where a= acceleration, v= velocity and t= time.


But velocity = displacement /time
v=s/t---(2)


Inputing the value of v from equ.(2) into equ.(1)...
a=v/t
a= (s/t)/t
a=s/t²

Assuming that a is constant...
s/t²=a/1
Cross multiplying
s=at²
Remember that a is constant
Therefore: s α t²
{s is directly proportional to t²}


👩🎓 I hope this helped you understand...
