A graph requires two numerical variables before it can have a meaningful slope. A distance-graph has only one variable so it does ot have a slope in any meaningful way.
For eaxmple, you could have a graph showing the distances of varoius places from, say London.

How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.
Why does speed distance divided by time give you only the average speed?
Because it does. :)
Can you give me an example of slope inclination?

Give me an example of average speed?
If I walk 4 kilometers in an hour, my average speed during that hour was 4 km/hour. My instantaneous speed may well have been faster at times, and slower at other times, 4 km/hour is only the average.
Why does the slope of a velocity time graph give you acceleration?
if there is a slope, the velocity is either increasing or decreasing. This is acceleration.
What does the slope of the distance time graph give?
speed

Slope of the graph will give you speed.
What information does the slope on a distance time graph give?
Speed
What does the slope of a distnace-time graph give you?
It gives you the speed. (not the velocity)
Why does speed distance divided by time give you only the average speed?
Because it does. :)
Can a body have nonzero average speed but have zero average velocity give example?
An object moving in a circular path at constant speed will have a non-zero average speed and zero average velocity since velocity is a vector parameter,
In what condition average velocity is equal to average speed give an example?
When an object is moving along a straight line at a variable speed, we can express the magnitude of the rate of motion in terms of average velocity.It is the same way as we calculate average speed.

What information does the slope of a velocity time graph provide?
The information given by the slope of ("on") a distance-time graph is the SPEED. The size ("magnitude") of the slope is the size of the speed and the units of the distance axis are divided by the units on the time axis to give the units of the speed ... so if your distance is in miles and time is in hours then your speed will be in miles per ("divided by") hours (mph)... but if distance is in metres and time is in seconds then the speed is in metre per second (m/s).

What is the average speed of world record men's 50km walking race?
I DONT GIVE A 5H1T
