If it's the average speed of [a,b] where a is less than b, both are on the x axis (time), and both are in the domain of x then the equation is
(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)
where f(b) is the distance when time=b and f(a) is the distance when time=a
(?)
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
Speed is found by dividing the distance by the time. S=D/T You can use this equation for any point on the graph.
To find the average speed or rate of something.(:
Assuming it's a graph of speed vs time, then between 2 times, the average is the distance (= area under the graph between those times) divided by the time difference.
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time

The slope of the line between two points on the distance/time graph is the same as the average speed during the time interval between those points.

Probably: Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time. or Instantaneous Speed = Gradient of the tangent to the Distance v Time graph.
Distance you read off directly from the graph. Speed is the rate of increase of distance, so it is the slope (gradient) of the graph.
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
It represents that the object is remaining at a fixed distance. Typically that means it is not moving.

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
