It depends on what variables are graphed.

When comparing two different lines on a position vs time graph how can you tell which object is moving faster?
The line which has greater slope stands for the fast moving object
How can you tell on a distance time graph if the object is moving towards or away from you?
Only if you know your location (the coordinate on the distance scale and the time scale) where "you" are can you infer if the object is moving towards you (the absolute distance to the object is decreasing) or away from you (the distance is increasing).
Can you tell from a displacemnt-time graph wheather an object is stationary?
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
What is a line sloping upwards on a speed time graph tell us?
The object is accelerating
What does straight line on a distance time graph tell you about the speed of an object?
It tells you that the speed of the object is not changing. The speed is represented by the slope in a distance vs. time graph, if slope doesn't change, speed doesn't.

What does the measurement of distance tell you about a moving object?
it may tell the speed of the moving object
How can you tell if an object is accelerating in a distance versus time graph?
The slope of the line of a distance versus time graph is the velocity of the object. If this is a constant, in other words the graph is a straight line, the object is not changing its velocity and so is not accelerating. If the object is accelerating, the velocity of the object will be changing, thus the graph will not be a straight line, but a curve - the amount of curvature (and direction) tells you how much the object is accelerating (and in what direction - velocity and acceleration are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction).
Can you tell from a displacemnt-time graph wheather an object is stationary?
Of course yes. An object is stationary when the graph is horizontal in a displacement-time graph.
When one object is moving faster than another what does that tell us about their temperature?
It shows us that the temp gets hotter
What does the gradient of a line on a distance-time graph tell us about an object?
The gradient of a distance-time graph gives the object's speed.
What does velocity tell you about a moving object?
Velocity tells you what speed a moving object travels at and in what direction.
Why does the y-value of the velocity vs. time graph stay constant?
You're looking at one specific velocity/time graph that we can't see. From your description, we can tell that the object whose motion is described by that graph is moving at a constant rate of speed ... which is exactly what you just said while looking at the graph.
How can you tell by looking at a speed graph what objects speed is the faster?
The point on the graph will be higher (in the normal configuration of such graphs).
How Can you tell from a velocity-time graph that the velocity is constant?
velocity is nothing but speed of a body in the given direction. suppose if body is moving with constant velocity then VT graph will be parallel to the X -axis, if not then the VT graph is not parallel to the X-axis it means then object is moving with different velocity or it has its dierection or both velocity and aswell as direction.
What one thing does a velocity-time graph not tell you about your object that a position-time graph does?
Distance covered at a given time.
