Is the equation correct for uniformly  accelerated motion along a straight  line?  s = vt − (1/2)at^2

No.... that is for motion under gravity

v=u+at  vt−(1/2)at^2 =ut+(1/2)at^2
$${v}={u}+{at} \\ $$$${vt}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{at}^{\mathrm{2}} ={ut}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{at}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
